I didn't mean that it eliminates Outlook Express, it integrates it. It does use the newsreader portion but it eliminates everything else. In fact, while I was downloading the setup program announced it was downloading the Outlook elimination file as one of the files it was getting. When I set up Outlook 98 it asked me if I wanted to have it be my default newsreader. When I said yes, it ran a setup program, and eliminated my Outlook Express icon from the desktop. ********************************************************************** Dale Schroyer [log in to unmask] Springfield, MA "Nothing is foolproof because fools are so ingenious" ********************************************************************** ---------- From: Stan Scott To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PCSOFT] What about Windows Outlook 98? Date: Thursday, March 26, 1998 1:08PM I share your enthusiasm, Dale, but Outlook 98 does NOT have an independent news capability -- it uses Outlook Express for that. No one should remove OE from their systems, even though they may no longer use it for mail. Stan Scott -----Original Message----- From: "Schroyer; Dale" <[log in to unmask]> The program itself has many new features over Outlook 97 and it inegrates to the point of eliminating Outlook Express. I like the fact that it integrates messaging in one spot. Outlook 98 can do internet mail, workgroup mail, faxing, and news all in one spot.
