Outlook 2003 and Newsreader

[Troy]

Well, I've just installed Office 2003 and have had a good look at
Outlook. Very good except that Microsoft have neglected to include a
newsreader (again). I thought since they were no longer supporting
Outlook Express in the future that they may actually include a newsreader
within outlook. I suppose that this means that I might have to wait for
the next version to come out before I see one installed. Does anyone know
anything about what's happening here?

Outlook 2003 requires Windows 2000 or XP, and since the next version of
Windows is at least 2 years away I would guess that Outlook will get a
reprieve until the next version.

Er, no, it didn't. No version of Outlook has *EVER* had its own newsclient -
it 'piggybacks' off OE - always has and (probably) always will.

Definitely, always will as there are no plans to include a news reader in
Outlook.
