I am really surprised Outlook 2007 does not have newsgroup functionality.

Seems to be a mess where MS are concerned with their mail apps.

Windows Mail - Mail and Newsgroups

Outlook 2007 - Mail and RSS

Windows Live Mail Desktop - Mail, RSS and Newsgroups

The worst application of the 3 actually supports all formats. I would
really expect Outlook 2007, being quite on the pricey side to have
everything.
Major disappointment. I was considering actually ordering Outlook 2007 by
itself, but I am really not sure now. Is it likely that the full release
will have newsgroup functionality?

Outlook never has and hopefully never will have news groups.

For people like me, using Outlook and Windows Mail works better that having
a one 'program does all'.. using OE6 or Windows Mail for both was a PITA, as
switching from one function to the other meant losing one's place..

I am with Milly on this one..

I know it never has, I was expecting them to be up to date with their
features

And people like me prefer an all in one solution :-)
People do not have to use the function and can use seperates but for those
that one all in one it would have been perfect.

Well they aren't if Outlook does not do newsgroups still. Windows Mail does
do a good job I would just like an all in one solution. WLMD is not very
good in my opinion and seeing as Outlook is so expensive, I would have
expected it to have all functions. If people do not want to use that
function like yourself, then that is fine, but the option should be there
for those that want it as an all in one program which offers all
functionality with regards to email and news. They thought about the RSS so
no reason why they cannot implement the nntp.

Yes, there are good reasons why they will not implement NNTP in Outlook - they have been enumerated each time a new release of Outlook hits the streets and folks start whining about no newsgroups in Outlook.

Look through the archives of this and the Outlook groups if you want a complete list of why it is not going to happen. I am tired of repeating the same information over and over again.
