Guys, I just added Outlook 2007 and can't seem to figure out how to add the
NG to it. I was using Outlook Express before, but this is a bit different.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I don't have 2007, but...

Traditionally the full blown Outlook hasn't actually been equipped with a
newsreader. For some reason newsgroups require Outlook Express.

Why they have missed out this functionality from the flagship office communications
software I'm not sure, but it's always been the way.

Cheers,
Kim.

Not the answer I wanted, but thanks Kim. I guess I'll have to keep OL Express
for NG purposes.

I've had outlook for years, been this way as long as I can remember. I don't
know why MS won't fix this for the home users. I guess they figure they
don't have to, you already have it with OE?

I think it's a market thing. NNTP just isn't a mainstream thing fot the office
set. I can't tell you the number of smart developers I meet who don't even
know what it is.

HI Tyrone,
Yes Outlook using the newsgroup reader that is part of express.
I would highly recommend just using Thunderbird as a news and mail reader.
It's newsgroup reader is easy to setup and the email cclient has all the
important features of outlook without the bloat.
Oh and its free.
Chris

I use TBird, but can't figure out how to get the Paris NG into it. I have
been using OE just for reading this group.
