The MBU have explained 100 times that Entourage is not meant to be a first-class newsreader, just a "convenience" inherited from earlier versions of OE. They specifically recommend getting another newsreader if you're serious about news. Their market research has shown that news features don't sell Office. (In fact, many businesses block news and specifically don't want it.) If anyone can find proof that improving news would sell 100,000 copies of Office v. X, I'm sure they'd re-think it. Otherwise, they choose to spend their limited time and resources on things which are profitable to them. It's a business decision for "higher up", it seems. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
