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.
