I just changed from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  When I have Windows Live Mail open and try to create a new email, the text screen defaults to a blank invisible font instead of the black font that I had previously.  In order to see the text I have to change the font to black and also change the font for the highlighter to black.  The next time I try to create a new email, the font default back to invisible.

How can I make the font default to black when a new email message is created.

Note the To: CC: BCC:  and Subject areas are OK.  It is just the text area where I am having the problem
