That is not exactly technically true. You CAN set your Exchange
Server to pull news groups, and access them through Public Folders(if
I remember correctly) in Outlook.

It is technically true. It is Exchange acting as the NNTP agent in this
case, not Outlook. Outlook is accessing an ordinary Public Folder, not a
newsgroup.

The point I was trying to make here, is that you CAN access newsgroups with
it, albeit in a round about fashion. Doesn't matter WHAT server it is.
Exchange is filling the part of the NNTP server no? And accessing the public
folder is analogous to subscribing to the group. I never stated that it
would do it directly as OE, Agent, et al do, now did I? All I stated was it
COULD be done.
