Default Access newsgroups from within Outlook?

Good People,
With Outlook Express I could access email and also newsgroups.

From within Outlook 2007, Win 7 RC I can access email accounts, RSS feeds,
but not newsgroups.

Is there an add-on or 3rd-party product which will permit accessing
newsgroups without leaving Outlook.

Thanks,
Karl

Yes there are several, that you have to pay for, and IMHO none of them are
as good as a dedicated News reader.

See http://outlook-tips.net/howto/news.htm for outlook options.

Doesn't Windows 7 include a Mail & News client similar to OE?

No, it doesn't. It has been unbundled completely. Windows Live Mail is
probably the expected client.
