If you are using stationery, that could make it default to a specific font. If it is just a normal e-mail:
You may have a damaged identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages from the old identity and delete it.

Yes, of course. Thanks.
But the basic question remains: Why aren't the default settings working?
In every other version of OE I've used, once I've set the defaults, I
immediately SEE the defaults in the text of an email message. e.g. I use
Verdana, teal, italic - But the defaults aren't working in an email message.

If you are indeed using HTML, then just put the cursor in the message body
and click Format. Those options are always grayed out until the message body
is active.
