Below is the
announcement I received from NewsGator developer Greg Reinacker’s
href=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/”>Weblog. The cool
thing is, I’m posting this directly from Outlook using NewsGator 1.2 – pictures too!. It’s almost as easy as
forwarding an email. Great work, Greg!
NewsGator 1.2 has been released! I won’t
duplicate the release announcements…here are the important links:

Here are some screen shots of some of the
visual items that have changed. This is only a small subset of the
feature set…and we’re only highlighting changes since 1.1.The NewsGator menu has moved to the
toolbar:src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel7.gif”
align=baseline border=0>New post items have been added to the
menu…src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel1.gif”
align=baseline border=0>And of course new configuration
options:src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel2.gif”
align=baseline border=0>Outlook auto-preview, which works well
with NewsGator, was always hampered by the links at the top of every post,
which would fill up most of the auto-preview. There is now an option to
move the links, for “clean” auto-preview:src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel3.gif”
align=baseline border=0>Prior to Outlook 2003, it was unfortunate
in that you could never see the URL that a link was going to open; NewsGator
1.2 adds tooltips to most links:src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel6.gif”
align=baseline border=0>If you like the NewsPage, you’ll like it
even more with inline post excerpts:src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel4.gif”
align=baseline border=0>And also on the NewsPage, you can now read
all posts from the “unread posts” section by expanding each
feed…src=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/postimages/ng12rel5.gif”
align=baseline border=0>Enjoy! We look forward to your feedback
and comments.[ href=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/archive.aspx?post=593″>Greg
