Compare Outlook to OE. The ONLY advantage that OE has is the newsreader.
Outlook should be able to log to a newsgroup without the assistance of OE.

From time to time there is speculation in this group as well as others
as to why Outlook doesn't have newsreading capabilities. The truth is
nobody really knows except those at MS who make those decisions.
This issue doesn't warrant a huge effort that can be spent on other more
worthy tasks, (spam, security issues, etc.). I made the suggestion because
in fact I do not believe it is a huge effort. The code exists. It is a
matter of using the GUI to bridge mail and newreader seamlessly. Simple.
Your solution is to download and install OE.
Given that Windows already ships a free newsreader (OE), that other free
newsreaders are readily available, and that there are third-party products
like yours that can drop news posts into Outlook, why should we divert
resources to a newsreader, rather than tackling things that *aren't*
readily available?
I (personally, mind you) think there are much better uses of our
resources...
