I saw what he was talking about on IE6, so it's also on IE6.
You may be confusing him with doc-types Hugh. ;-) While they are good
to have on some occasions, and IF used **properly**, that's not your
problem Vern. (I added one just to be positive and it didn't change
anything). Using certain wrong types of doc tags can actually prevent a
bot's ability to spider a page.
BTW, I checked it in FF 3.6 and while your/her original issue still
shows in it, the area of purple text that starts with "This is a 1 day
sale..." is double spaced in IE, probably because of the <sub> tags, you
should remove those <sub> & </sub> where ever you have them since it's
not subset text.
You should also get into the habit of using all lowercase everywhere in
the HTML code. That will eventually cause a problem (and is currently
now sometimes). Using a + before the font size # shouldn't be there.
Remove the email address in the <head>, that's just food for spammers
and spambots. The background scrolls in FF, but it's fixed on in IE.
So that's a problem with this area:
<BODY bgProperties=fixed BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF"
VLINK="#800080" ALINK="#FF0000" BACKGROUND="mu15bkgd.jpg">
You need to lookup (or ask at HTML-Haven) the proper tag for the bg
either being fixed, or floating.

This is seriously ancient HTML by today's standards.
You may be running in to a problem with modern browsers, which demand
a somewhat higher adherence to the rules.
The lack of a DOCTYPE is one problem, and you can get a comprehensive
