Use this for your margins inside your body tag:  topmargin="0"
leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
It covers both NN and IE.

For the background image, this is what you have in your code:
<TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="332">
  <TR align="center" background="none" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <TD class="mainbg">
      <table width="500" border="0">
        <tr>
          <td> <br>
            <p class="heading">Women's voices need to be heard! </p>

<snip>

Try this:

<TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="332">
  <TR align="center" background="none" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <TD class="mainbg">
      <table width="500" border="0">
        <tr>
          <td class="mainbg"><br> <!-- put it in this td instead of the one
before your table -->
            <p class="heading">Women's voices need to be heard! </p>

It is displaying the background for the td you put it in as well as the
table that is nested in that cell. NN4.7 is not very intuitive. It does
exactly as you tell it to do. IE understands what you wanted to do
apparently.

HTH,
Lisa
