How to create discussion groups within outlook using exchange?

[Greg]

Is there a way to start, or create, 'discussion' threads, much like this one,
within outlook? Specifically for users on a LAN in an office that uses MS
Exchange server. I would think the feature exists but can't find this within
outlook. I thought it would have been related to a public folder type
feature.

I want to start a discussion group to help with informal information sharing
purposes for internal office matters. This way, if people want to
"subscribe" to this to stay in the loop on various topics, they can or even
provide their own feedback.

If I had to do this, I'd implement an NNTP (news) server and create a local
newsgroup.
