How to show newsgroups in Outlook Folder list

I just move to Outlook from Outlook Express. In the latter, I had
newsgroups folder in the same tree (and at the same level) as my Hotmail and
Personal Folders folders.

In Outlook (2002, 10.2627.2625) I can only get to newsgroups by View/News in
the menus which launches a news reader in a separate window.

Is there a way I can have the newgroups in Outlook's folder list and read
the news convieniently along with my w-mail?

I thank you for the answer to what must be simple question.

No - Outlook passes news reading to Outlook Express in a news only mode.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, news.rcn.com asked:

All versions of Outlook use Outlook Express to read news. The only way to
read NNTP news IN Outlook is either using it with an Exchange Server which
is setup to place news feeds into Public Folders, or with an add-in helper:
