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

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.

Look for Forte's Agent (Free), much better go at it.
