That may not be enough checking. Unfortunately the latest update
is not a security update and hence we don't have a file manifest for it.
However we do have a file manifest for the prerequisite of the update
that you have installed:

<title>Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-018: Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express (823353)</title>
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-018.mspx

Expand [-] Security Update Information
and [-] Outlook Express 6 SP1 for Windows XP, Windows XP SP1, Windows 2000 SP3,
Windows 2000 SP4, and Windows NT 4.0 SP6a

to see the file manifest. Check on the versions of *all* those modules
listed.

FYI a previous poster, Joann, had a similar symptom that you are
having and in her case we found that msident.dll was somehow
regressed. We suspect that it was that regression in combination
with the fact that the updates were installed from the Security Updates
CD which was causing WU to think that she needed to reinstall that
otherwise superseded update.

For more information here is a link to a search I did for a previous
poster who reported the same symptom.
