Outlook cannot read newsgroups. It uses Outlook Express for that.


Now this has always puzzled me. Under IE Tools/internet options/ on the
programs tab you can choose between MS Outlook and Outlook express to use
for Newsgroups.

My newsreader toolbar is Titled "Microsoft Outlook Newsreader". Yet to all
intents and purposes it looks identical to outlook express.

Why give the option if it defaults to Outlook express anyway???


That's perfectly normal bnehavior.

Yet I havent seen it before in all the years I've used it.

Perhaps the folders finally ballooned over the allotted size to trigger the
message??? Or maybe I always had a slight glitch in outlook express which
was fixed by one of the latest batch of updates???

Allowing it to compress the folders got rid of the annoying message which
solved the annoyance but I have the sort of mind which wants to know what
made it occur now.

Many thanks for your reply.
