Uninstall/Disable Outlook Express?

I have just seen details of the latest (in a long line) of Outlook Express vulnerabilities;http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-013.mspx

I am using Win 98 and I don't have the money or inclination to upgrade this box sufficiently to run XP. I have used OE a few times but the e-mail account I used it with was with an ISP I no longer use. If I open OE I get an error message that it cannot connect to that old ISP.

The MS bulletin suggests that even if you don't use OE the problem is still there so I am wondering if I can cripple or remove OE entirely without breaking anything else?

(I don't think I can use this patch anyway because my version of OE (5), is not mentioned. I have all the other 98 and IE Critical patches.)
