NNTP Account setup in Outlook?

[mark oliver]

Hi,

Is it possible to setup a NNTP account in Outlook so that the "News"
button gets news? Right now on my PC "News" opens C:\Program Files\Common
Files\SYSTEM\MSMAPI\1033 in explorer.

Thanks,
Mark

Known problem....

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the No button.

You may need to reset the menu or toolbar using Tools, customize.
