email recipients - some older folks (with [probably] poor eye-sight ;-) )

I'm not so old, and with my reading glasses on.... yes, I can see the difference - but then I 
_know_ that there is a difference!

The font used is 'Times New Roman' (it looks really good when printed), but doesn't look that 
wonderful on screen. Perhaps I need another 'layer' with a [good] font for the email [computer 
screen] version. Got a suggestion for something that looks good and clean on screen (and has 
similar size rendering as New Times Roman, so that I won't have to adjust the layout of the text 
and graphics too much)?

Blessings,

Nigel
