1) Uninstall Outlook.
2) Get another news reader.

This worked in earlier versions.

1) Read the question.

2) See 1).
Besides, Outlook is useful for more than just the POV newsgroups. On
the whole, manually pasting my sig at the bottom is an annoyance I can
live with.

Yeah, I already found that. It looked exciting, but it doesn't work in
Outlook 2007. There's a macro that's supposed to work OK, but it also
didn't for me :(

Unfortunately, Outlook Express remains the best NNTP reader I have ever
used.

Hmm, I sense a contradiction here.

For one, I haven't used any other newsreader that had a decent offline mode.
I'm currently using KNode, which apparently keeps a stupidly small cache. I
once held the down arrow key so that lots of messages got loaded. I went to
the first and noticed it wasn't loaded (there is a checkmark next to
messages available in the local cache). I later saw the darned checkmarks
disappearing off messages as they appeared on others. I can't find any
setting to make it keep the messages cached, or to increase the size.
Thunderbird seemed to have two ways of working. One: keep *whole* newsgroups
preloaded and cached locally. Two: flush the cache as soon as you start
reading a different group or close the program. Except for messages with
attachments, which seemed to *always* load off the server.
Outlook Express, on the other hand, was what I used for more than a year
over dialup. I could mark messages for download (based on interesting
subjects), connect to the 'net, have them downloaded, disconnect, and read
them. And once a message was downloaded, it stayed downloaded forever.
OE functionality is really useful even on high speed Internet. Going to the
next message is an instant operation, and I can immediately start reading
it. And while reading it, a huge image from p.b.i can be downloading for
later. I can be more time reading and less time waiting for downloads,
because that happens in the background.
Either way, any newsreader is better than a web forum; at the very least
because it can be navigated with a keyboard, and has real threading.
