Outlook .Vs. Express

[Raven]

Ok, I've tried them both, and in my opinion, outlook is the greatest for
email, Personal information management, and style (it can do soooo much).
Outlook express however, wins hands down for newsgroups (I'm subscribed to
over a hundred, and post on a regular basis). But why oh why can't we have
both?

I want the capability and style of Outlook, but I want newsgroups too.

I've tried all the add ons that I can find (newslook, mapitools etc) but
they just don't cut it.

anyone got any ideas?

Use Outlok for mail - and OE for newsgroups. That's what I and, I think,
many others do.

Outlook hides its embarrassment at not having this feature by burying the
News command. Go to Tools > Customize > Command tab. Select "Go" from the
categories list on the left and scroll down the commands list on the right
to find "News" - click and drag it to a toolbar somewhere. Close the
customize dialog and click on your new button - it will start (or switch to)
Outlook Express!

Microsoft Outlook uses Microsoft Outlook Express for a newsreader.
