Please include the post to which you are replying to so others know what
you are talking about as this is not a forum where all messages are
threaded - its a newsgroup and we all prefer different views.

Outlook sucks as a newsreader - if you don't believe me, try the
newsreader addins and you'll discover many of the limitations of using a
mapi client for NNTP. http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/news.htm

As bad as OE (and its incarnations of Vista Mail and Live Mail) are, they
are better newsreaders than outlook ever would be and if those don't suit,
alternate browsers include newsreaders, or you can use standalones like
Agent, xananews, xnews, gravity and many, many others. I like xananews the
best of all non-MS clients, but stopped using it when beta testing as I
formatted too often - it was faster to use OE than to reinstall the
software.
