For both emailing (in text mode, not RTF) and TeXing, I tend to prefer 
monospaced fonts and hence use Monaco at 10 pt. Possibly because of my 
several years of use of Textures, which did use that font. An added 
advantage of monospaced fonts is that you can do some visual formatting 
of your text input (to show its structure): not really useful if you're 
just writing text, but useful indeed if you're writing or modifying TeX 
macros, or writing maths (for example for displaying the structure of a 
matrix).
