The original message doesn't say why they want Internet Explorer. There
may be a legitimate reason such as website testing, or there may be a
reason which can be gotten around using another, more sensible browser
... that's why I asked.

If you build the website properly, then it will work in every sensible
web browser, and for the most part even in Internet Explorer as well.
The issues start when you try to do fancy, usually unnecessary, things
that only work in Internet Explorer (which seems especially prevalent
in Government websites!).
