I'm trying to select typefaces for an email newsletter template. We've designed it with Helvetica, but obviously few Windows PCs have the font, so Arial would be the second choice. However, Helvetica looks awful on Windows, for the few people that do have it.

Could I just put "sans-serif" as the only choice? I'd hope that it would default to Helvetica on Mac, Arial on Windows, and whatever Helvetica clone is available on Linux on that OS.

Are there any problems with this?
