Outlook Web Access should be fine, millions of people use it as designed with IE7. Possible if they have outsourced email or similar that they might need to tell it to trust the email provider, but if that is the issue then IE6 is presumably applying that same increased trust to every site on the Internet. Sounds like they have other issues with their PC management to me. I always liked Matt Lee's note on some web work he did: "Works in all modern browsers and IE6" Of course then IE6 was only 6 years old. With IE6 you get the PNG rendering issue. More and more websites just don't render correctly in IE6 because a lot of lazy web developers use Firefox and IE7, and hope IE6 will work like IE7 (or Firefox). And IE6 crashes way too easily - sometimes just because you used it a lot. We should of course not use secuna advisory counts for security decisions. IE 6 - 22 unpatched advisories IE 7 - 9 unpatched advisories I feel a Javascript snippet comming on....
