It's generally considered bad form to send html mail to mailing lists :-)
Also, most of use won't even see the font you are setting, since our email
clients are not configured to do so. I certainly don't see the font. All
my mail is seen in the font I have configured, which is legible and just
fine as far as I am concerned...

Email is text. I think perhaps the best strategy is to simply send all
your mail as plain text. That way, everyone can read it, and you won't get
complaints from people who dislike receiving html email etc.
