Brand New to OL 2007

[Jeremy]

Is there a way to subscribe to some of the conversations here using OL 2007?
I have recently found these discussion pages and am reeling from all of the
info, but do not want to go to the MS web site every time to look for
something. I am new to the whole RSS, newsgroup thing, but learning every
minute.

You can subscribe, but it doesn't always notify you. Better is to use an
NNTP client to read the groups. You can mark threads to watch or drag them
to a mail folder (in OE) to review later.

If a thread has an answer and you want to save it, create a folder in
Outlook then copy and paste the answer into a Post form (Ctrl+Shift+S) in
the new folder.

I don't think I have OExpress. There's no was to get some of the
conversaions here pt right on my outlook?

I don't think I have OExpress.

If you are running Windows-XP, then OE is built-in. If you are running
Windows-Vista then Windows-Mail does the same job.

In XP: Click "Start" > "Run", type "msimn" into the box (without the
quotes), then click "OK".

In Vista: Click the start button, type "msimn" into the search box
(without the quotes), then press the "Enter" key.

Outlook Express (aka Mail in Vista) comes with the operating system. Outlook
doesn't support newsgroups on its own but there are addins you can install
if you want nntp in outlook. If you are just reading, Newsgator is a good
solution (but it doesn't post to news.)
