Any of you know some good "free" plugins that allow you to read, post, and
reply to newsgroups as you can do in OE? Recently moved my home email over
to Outlook from OE and would like to have this feature built in if I can.

If there are no available wares, can some of you recommend some good free
ones that work outside of Outlook then?

Thanks much!

I've tried most of the nntp add-ins for Outlook and none of them, IMHO, are
as good as a proper Newsreader.
if you are happy with using OE then when you click on the Go-News menu item
in Outlook, that will call OE in Outlook Newsreader mode...
 
You can continue to use OE for news, ensure your mail accounts are removed
from OE, before opening it, or create a shortcut to open it directly
"%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /outnews
 
Have you tried this:

NNTP NewsGator Posting Plugin

Guess you have to have NewsGator installed. I did get partial to OE's
newsreader even though I couldn't see some things apparently that people
could who viewed news via the web. Anyhow, what do you think of this?

Thanks much.
 
No, not tried, I use the OE shortcut for news groups.
Since you were apparently happy with OE I dont understand why you dont stay
with it.

Outlook does not remove/replace OE (other than for mail) its still on your
system as its part of the o/s / IE
