Outlook 2003 Loosing News Command

[Paul J. Lay]

I was trying to configure the News Reader support in Outlook 2003. I found
the help information to be satifactory on the first iteration but after that
I couldn't find the News command in the Go category list. Where did it go
and how can I get it back. I reverted to the newsreader in Outlook Express
to read the newgroups. Any insight into this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Best Regards,

The settings required for Outlook 2003 are different than earlier versions,
but just as illogical.
First, you must now select Outlook Express (not Outlook) as your default
news reader in Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs...
Second, if OE prompts you to make it your default news reader when you first
launch it, answer NO and tell it to stop asking.
