[Evolution] font for composing mail

[Paul Eli Vet <pe1800 rogers com>]

I have recently installed SuSE 10.2/KDE. I like SuSE. I like KDE. Of the
various email clients I like Evolution (2.8.2) the best.

But I have one problem. How can I change, PERMANENTLY, the font used for
composing a message? The present font I can barely read. I should also
mention that the fonts of incoming mail and stored mail are nice and
clear,after I had made some changes with Prefernces.

Thank you for your advice.
