Plus the code is setting a table cellpadding="5" and has extra p and tags in it causing the spacing
You have
<table border="3" width="100%" cellpadding="5" height="25" cellspacing="0"><tr>
<td width="24%" valign="top" bordercolor="#C0C0C0"> <img border="1" src="images/asstlogo.jpg" width="48" height="74"
align="middle">
<font size="3"><i><b>The Assistant!</b></i></font></td>
<td width="774" height="1" bordercolor="#C0C0C0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/AssistantBanner.jpg" width="715" height="90" align="left"></p><p align="center"
style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> </p>
</td></tr></table>
And to make it just fit the images you should have more like:
<table border="3" width="763" cellpadding="0" height="90" cellspacing="0"><tr>
<td width="48" valign="top" bordercolor="#C0C0C0">
<img border="1" src="images/asstlogo.jpg" width="48" height="74" align="middle">
<br><font size="3"><i><b>The Assistant!</b></i></font></td>
<td width="715" height="90" bordercolor="#C0C0C0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
<img border="0" src="images/AssistantBanner.jpg" width="715" height="90" align="left">
</td></tr></table>
