IE once again sucks
By Steffen Müller. Licensed under the Creative Commons License
On some of our websites, we use conditional comments to control CSS hacks for Internet Explorer. If you create static copies of a website (or mirror), never forget that only IE will follow the @import links inside conditional controls - tools like httrack or wget certainly will not, because they know how to behave! This fact cost me almost an hour today.

Hi there, an old post I know. Did you ever get wget/httrack to fetch IE specific CSS from IE's conditional comments?
Sorry Russell, I did not. If you ever find a solution, please leave a comment about it.
