There are plugins for Usenet/NNTP handling for Outlook, but it is not
default.

The problem could be the Exchange server, as its the one that has to
construct the outgoing Internet message from the Outlook format

The problem is that if it is the Exchange server, then it does NOT
have the appropriate information to construct the In-Reply-To header
(References is a News header ONLY).
