Outlook (in any release year) doesn't function as a newsreader, nor does it
have a newsreading program, never has. You can only have Outlook, if set up
as such, open "News (a newsreader)" and then it will open Windows mail (or
OE in previous OSes) to use a newsreader. But why do that when one can just
simply open WM?
