Hi all...
I am used to NGs in Netscape where I can drag any posting straight to my
inbox. Outlook does not seem to be able to access the inbox when reading NGs.
Is there a way to change that?

Is there an easier/more direct way to get to the NG other than using View>go
to>News? I am hoping for a keyboard shortcut and being able to add an icon to
click on.
Thanks
John

There you can drag postings to your inbox

No, you can't. Outlook Express newsitems will not drag to Outlook's
folders. Did you try it? I did.

Outlook can access its Inbox while you're reading news since Outlook's
newsreader is usually Outlook Express, a separate program. Both can operate
simultaneously and while reading news in OE, you can certainly read mail in
your Inbox. I do all the time.

It is true, however, that you can't drag items from OE to Outlook.

Hi Brian,
I meant, if you use Outlook Express as your Newsreader, there you can drag
postings to the inbox from Outlook Express. I dont meant Outlook!

But the OP was asking about dragging news articles into Outlook.

I understood that he had used Netscape for reading News

inbox.

And i suggested to use Outlook Express as Newsreader, where he can drag his
Mails into the Inbox.
