This is not MS supported. This is a third party (Simon).

It's funny. MS sees the request all the time, yet they don't feel it is a part of the program for Outlook. They have many valid points as to why it is not in Outlook, but I see many more valid points for including it. Hence, why I am using NewsLook :-)

$40 for a newsreader add-on for Outlook ?

I think not.

I have an idea, how about I read all my emails, newsgroup posts and RSS feeds in Outlook 2003, read them in the preview pane as I do all of my emails....since that is what I use 12 hours a day? When I am going through 400+ messages a day, and have the ability to create tasks, apppointments etc. daily, all within Outlook, I am happy. My Outlook (using Word as my email editor, NewsLook for newsgroups, and Irfanews for RSS feeds) uses 47,000k, but it is of no concern to me as I have sufficent processor speed and RAM.

Not to mention, if I had another app, such as OE open along with OL, that would use up even more resources on top of Outlook.

Usenet isn't worth reading or posting to anyhow.
