The title says it all, really..

I spend most of my day in my email client. I use Verdana 9.

Does anyone have cool fonts to recommend?

I like the functional appearance of Courier for e-mail.

In Mail.app I use:
Lucida Grande 12 for the message list,
Helvetica 12 for messages, and
Monaco 10 for plain text messages.

Pretty much the same except I use Monaco 12pt. I really like how it looks with the smoothing in full effect! For me it is the proof that fixed-width fonts can look really good ... I feel sorry for Windows people who pretty much only have Courier / Courier New, neither of which I think much of.

Generally I prefer antialiased fonts (I couldn't get KDE to use antialiasing for a while and it was fugly) but in the case of plain text email I actually like the look of Monaco 10 better. It's a good, clean screen font that, in my opinion, need not be antialiased.
