Or just launch Outlook Express on your computer separately.

Not sure what you mean by "toggle", because they're completely unrelated
methods - it's like saying, I want to toggle back and forth between emailing
someone and phoning them. :-)
However, you can have the web browser and the news client open at the same
time on your computer, accessing whatever you like. I never use browser
interfaces for news unless I am searching for something I probably never
downloaded into my client - I use OE for news, and for MS newsgroups, the
NNTP server msnews.microsoft.com - and it works fine.
