Configuring News Groups in OE 2003

[Ernest Maw]

Windows 2000 (SP4)
Outlook 2003 (SP1)

Is it possible to configure my outlook to view News Groups? I've always
used my browser, but saw this mentioned in another News Group.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best Regards,

Ernie

No. Outlook is not a news reader. By default it will call Outlook Express to
read news if you click the News command in the toolbar.
To get the News command in the toolbar, go back to the Programs tab in
Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You need to use OE... the server name you need is msnews.microsoft.com
