    How do I?

    Locked

    I am using Microsoft Outlook to catch my email. How do I view Headers or subscribe to newsgroups. Any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks

      Headers, yes. Newsgroups, no?

      To view the headers, right-click the message line in your Inbox and select Options. The headers will be at the bottom.

      I don’t think Outlook has newsgroup capability without adding third-party options. Bill Gates doesn’t like newsgroups; too subversive.

        used to do newsgroups, but it was a bit crap. Never noticed it had stopped to be quite honest.
        Look for Forte’s Agent (Free), much better go at it.

        Is it worth using Outlook for this purpose as compared to installing a dedicated newsgroup reader?
