Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail Default Font Setting

I have reset the Windows 10 Mail default font to 12 point, followed by a Restart.


However, when I start typing a new email, the font in the message is STILL the original setting of 11.


If I refer back to the Default setting, it shows that it is 12.
