Yes - but it's also involved in MDAC2.5-2.8
therefore if either are installed (and one or the other is bound to be
installed in ME, pretty much), then you're offered the update.
I suspect that it's MDAC that rules the magnanimity of MS in this case,
rather than IE. (otherwise they'd have some users protected, and others
not - and screaming blue murder)

I don't get you? 870669 is for IE6 SP1 regardless of the OS platform and
I
thought Ben was now running IE6 SP1. What is interesting is that I was
also
offered 870669 on a Win Me box with IE 5.5 SP2 although it did have MDAC
2.5
as a result of having the critical update 329414 - MS02-05 installed.

What I can confirm is that a clean Win Me install is not offered 870669,
just
IE SP1.
