I'm I correct assuming this is the same problem discussed in MS00-043?

I think its MS01-033.

That is probably for the better though. As I understand it,
the MS00-043 defect would trigger as soon as Outlook was started 
and it read the mail headers. :(

In that case the following configurations are safe:

IE 5.01 SP1 or later
IE 5.5 or later ( except Windows 2000, sp1 safe?? )

If its MS01-033, they're not :) 

Worse, only 5.01sp1 and 5.5sp1 have patches available for 
them. That means the Windows Update Site doesn't help. 
I just went there with 5.50.4134.0600IS and it didn't tell 
me I needed the patch.

You haven't lived until you've tried to talk a Windows 95
user with IE3 through the update process. :(
