Forum reader for Outlook

[Don Burn]

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to read and write Microsoft
forums in Outlook, besides Newshound. I tried Newshound and it
continually corrupted my PST files, so I gave up on it. But with
Microsoft eliminating newsgroups for forums I want a way to keep
communicating.

There is an NNTP bridge available.

Which won't work in Outlook. Or will it?

It works with OE/Mail/LiveMail, same as NNTP did.

Yes it does, but except for LiveMail which I can't stand, none of those
work on Win7. The question was how to be on forums with Outlook, and so
far the answer appears to be that one cannot in a reliable manner.

Outlook has never supported newsgroups or forums - that is not changing.
The NNTP bridge works with other NNTP readers besides the OE/Mail family so
you may be able to use the bridge with the same newsreader you use
currently.

Actually there are plenty of 3-rd party solutions for supporting
Newsgroups with Outlook, and even one that supports forums.
Unfortunately the forum product is Newshound which continually corrupts
my outlook files so I have abandoned that. And none of the newsreaders
for outlook are supported by Microsoft's NNTP bridge.
