I have both Outlook and Outlook Express on my pc and I use both quite
successfully and often - until recently that is. My problems started when I
began using the newsgroup features of Express.

Whenever I try to reply to a newsgroup message using Express I get a message
which says: 'A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored
in OUTLOOK. Do you want to allow this?'. It doesn't seem to matter how I
response to the yes/no options offered - Outlook loads up anyway and tries to
generate an outward bound email which is exactly what I don't want to happen.
I want to generate my message using Outlook Express NOT Outlook.

What makes this even stranger is that when I click on "reply" to an email
message in Express it quite successfully uses Express to generate that reply.
When I try the same exercise on a newsgroup message OUTLOOK in invoked.

How can I force Express to use Express to reply to newsgroup messages?
NB: I don't particularly want to set Express as my default Email client
(because it isn't)!
