Correct. It brings up windows mail (even if live mail is installed and set
as default) - but windows mail is just OE with a different name and storage
system.

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control
Panel | Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook
Express. If OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next
time you launch it, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the
No button.

You may need to reset the menu or toolbar using Tools, customize.


Last I checked, OE doesn't come with Vista and cannot be installed on
Vista either. Perhaps it can use Windows Mail, yes?

Alias, who prefers T-Bird to all of them.

Outlook never has and probably never will support NNTP (network news
transfer protocol) to do newsgroups. It always starts some other
program depending on which was configured as the default newsreader
(Internet Options - Programs tab). Why would you spend the time
waiting for Outlook to load to only have it load some other program?

Why waste all the extra mouse clicks wandering through menus in Outlook?
Just put a shortcut to whatever newsreader you want to use in the
QuickLaunch toolbar (or another toolbar) in the Windows taskbar. One
click and you start the newsreader directly. No loading Outlook, no
wandering through menus.

You can get Newshound, an Outlook add-on, to add NNTP (network news
transfer protocol) to Outlook but it isn't free.

NewsHound can be tried for a month freely.

Wow, a whole month-long solution followed by an uninstall.
rolls eyes

It didn't appear to me the OP was looking to throw money at a
more-than-temporary solution but I figured to mention it just to be
thorough. It's not the only add-on that adds NNTP support to Outlook
but the only one that I can remember.
