While IE6 might "kinda sorta" be supported, you might wish to see if
you can verify what OS the browser is being hosted on.

If IE6 is being run on Win2k or XP pre-SP3 then those OSes are no
longer supported, and nor is their IE6, and you should give weight to
the idea that their browsers need to be updated.

It's a bit more ammo, one way or the other.
