Font type frustration

First off, I'm using Office: Mac 2004.

1.) I have gone into preferences and set all my fonts to Helvetica,
yet I'm seeing Courier for the messages I'm receiving. Everyone knows
serif fonts are harder to read online.

2.) When I send a message to a mailing list, and I see my email
posted, marks of punctuation like apostrophes and quotation marks are
replaced by a superscript number.

3.) My reply quote characters in email replies is either not happening
at all, or is not being the colors they're supposed to.

I have looked through the preferences several times, and I can't
figure out how to change these things.

Are these just Microsoft bugs? No! I refuse to believe it!

This is making me want to scream.
