Now you can go to File>Options>Mail>Stationary & Fonts>Personal Stationary and set each of the fonts (new messages, replies, composing) to the SAME font as you chose in Word as default. Click Don't save the document, but next it will ask you if you'd like to save modifications to styles, building blocks, etc. Select All Documents based on the NormalEmail.dotm template.

PFitz above is absolutely right that you need to go to the C.Templates folder, however the solution works better when you use set as default based on normalemail.dotm rather than saving the whole template separately.

If anyone is still trying to figure this one out, I believe I've found the solution.
