Butt-ugly font in emails generated by agents

Generating an email like this:

Set rtitem = New NotesRichTextItem ( mail, "Body" )

Call rtitem .AppendText(profile.GetItemValue("NewsletterHeader")(0))

Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 1 )

Call rtitem .AppendText(content)

Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 3 )

Call rtitem .AppendText(profile.GetItemValue("NewsletterFooter")(0))

Content is a text field.

In emails people are receiving, the font is coming out as embarrassingly butt-ugly.

We don’t need fancy hmtl or anything overly flash, but the current ugly font is a little to the extreme the other way.

Any ideas on how to at least set it to be default sans serif 10?
