(As for the can of worms, I don't use Outlook (Express).)
If you are referring to using it for email, I don't either. :-) I use
Outlook. You can add the ability to post to the newsgroups within Outlook
without the need to actually set it up for sending/receiving email. All you
need to do is add the News button, found in the Go category of the Customize
dialog box. Of course if you don't use Outlook then this isn't applicable.
I don't think I could use Google Groups for the newsgroups. There's no need
to view "pages" of posts in OE or Windows Live Mail, you can easily set your
view to "Show replies to my messages", mark threads for watching, and most
important to me, it keeps track of what you've read and not read. But I
guess which one works the best is more a matter of what you get used to. :-)
