hello
I just bought Outlook 2007 and to my dismay, there is no newsgroup. Is it
really or am I missing something?

regards

No version of Outlook has ever included the ability to read news groups
directly. It calls either Outlook Express or Windows Mail.

You could use an add-in that adds the NNTP protocol to Outlook:

Outlook has never had NNTP support. You need to use an addin if you really
want newsgroups in outlook.

Hi
Thanks for all the reply. This really gets me! reason I asked is I could
swear I had it on Outlook 97 back when I was using Windows 2000 or XP. I
remember vaguely having it and Outlook Express and it asked me which one I
want to use for my newsgroup. Of course I chose Outlook and was reading my
newsgroup in it . I don't know. I am kind of getting up there in age though.
so that might be the problem.
