I think the answer to this is going to depend on the email program you're using; I doubt, for instance, that it would help for me to give you instructions on how to use Mac Mail (though if that is what you're using, let me know).

If you post what program you're using, maybe someone who also uses that program can help you.

But in general, no, you do not want more decorative fonts. They often don't come through right to the people you're sending to, anyway; even if you're not posting to this list. If there's an option for "Plain Text", I would definitely use that.
