Care to throw in a motivation for this request?

I have used several add-in that added NNTP to Outlook. I always ended up
removing them because I didn't like the idea of having my personal Outlook
data mixed with "community" data. The same goes for RSS support in Outlook.
Even when I used separate pst-files to store the data in it just felt like
clutter (not just on the receiving end but also with the Sent Items). Things
might be better when I had less e-mail accounts and RSS and NNTP got their
separate section in the Navigation Pane. For now I leave it up to Outlook
Express as I also can't do without the CTRL+H function ;-)

I'm voting "No" on this one for sure.

I have been waiting for NNTP support for years. I closely watch a handful of
newsgroups and don't like the hassle of opening outlook express every time I
want to check them. I like the way outlook manages my data, and it manages
to do a very good job of keeping my high-volume mailing lists seperate from
my low-volume business and personal mail. I would like outlook to treat my
newsgroups in the same manner as my mailing lists.

I am aware that there are addins for this, but I do not want to purchase a
licence for every user who wants NNTP functionality in outlook. Support is
included with Exchange - why not with Outlook? It's just another
communication medium, and it suits my purposes better than public folders or
distribution lists.
