Fred,
Outlook was never highly regarded by the Usenet community.  Too many
problems and short comings.

One of the best and longest running Usenet readers remains Xnews, a
free download.  And Forte Agent is still very reliable, again, for a
long time.  Nice feature about both is they're not captive to any
newsgroup service.

Lots of choices for posting too.

Good luck.

JJ-
