Grumpy,
Could you clarify how you are making the settings. There are at least two
places to set fonts.
At the base mail interface (not composing, not 'new' message)
Tools
Options
Compose
Compose Font
Mail: Font settings
This will set the default and on my machine this is what controls the
initial conditions in the compose window of a new message and it works as
expected, if I change to green then all new typing is green when I open up a
new message till I change it.
In the compose window (after a 'new' message) is opened there is
Format
Font
Which allows you to set the format, size, color for typing to be done after
the setting is made, It does not change the default for the next 'new'
message.
I know you don't want to hear 'works fine for me :}. (I am using Windows 7
with Windows Live Mail)
