Reading newsgroups in Outlook 2007

[Jayawanth]

I see lots of articles, posting on how to use Outlook Express to read msnews
e.g. news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.security.virus

Can Outllok be setup to read this newsgroup? Or is there a RSS point for
msnews?

Outlook doesn't support the NNTP protocol. There are some addins for it to
add it though.
RSS is a completely different protocol. Newsgroups typically don't have RSS
feeds.

You can access this newsgroup by visiting
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your
newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

The third-party addins for news reading in Outlook all have limitations
compared to using a "proper" news reader....
