IE Win up to version 6 doesn't recognise "min-height", but thinks "height"
is "min-height". Add in a rule (with the comments before and after):

/* Fix IE Win, hide from IE Mac \*/
* html #messageCentre {
   height: 300px;
}
/* end hiding */

The first comment makes sure IE on the Macintosh doesn't see the next
rule; the * html makes sure only IE up to 6 applies the rule; and the
final comment lets IE Mac see whatever comes after. Have a look in the
list wiki under Tan hack and star-html hack for more info.

HTH,

Nick.
