Controlling basic text in an e-mail newsletter

[dkephart -at- PRAUSA -dot- COM]

We publish a newsletter by e-mail.  At this time, we do not have the option 
of posting it on our website and providing a link, and we don't feel 
sending an attached document will be as well received by our audience. We 
are having trouble with simple punctuation characters such as apostrophes, 
quote marks and commas being transformed into odd characters, lines, etc. 
when we transmit the information.  We have had two successful broadcasts, 
and then a horrible looking one last week.  We do not put any formatting 
such as bold or italics in the text; we do not include any graphics or 
oversized type.  As far as I can tell, we are using the same characters as 
other newsletters I receive. We have been using Courier.  We send from 
Lotus Notes.

Can anyone suggest a font or standard we should be using to prevent this 
from happening?  Any suggestions would be welcome -- our next one is 
scheduled to go this week.
