We have received a status update on the SP2 issue today: The request has now been officially accepted by the Outlook Product Group and we’re told a developer is actively working on implementing the actual code changes. Our request is currently scheduled to be included in the next bi-monthly Cumulative Update for Microsoft Office which is due end of August. The June update is already due later today (unfortunate timing). Note that there is no guarantee yet that a fix will become available at all.
We will keep you updated on any new developments.
