I'm assuming you mean sending to folks across the internet, using SMTP.
SMTP is a TCP protocol, so it has error checking and retrying
("guaranteed delivery", in the parlance), and packet level
checksums.
So I cant see that bandwidth availability is your problem.  It'll all
just slow down, but it wont corrupt.

A bit of thought suggests that lack of 8 bit cleanliness through the
mail path may be the issue.  (note that 8 bit clean paths are not
required, and could be considered rare)

Since I know relatively little about MS mail products, a bit of googling
gave this advice (and what you want are settings with words like
printable or 7 bit)
