Mail - changing default font size?

[Big Stevie]

The default font size when composing a message appears to be size 12, which is a little too small for me. Is there a more permenant way of changing the default size instead of doing it manually each time I compose a message?

Thanks

What happens when you try changing the values in Preferences > Fonts & Colors....?
