Is your idea to remove the "Send Options..." dialog entirely? But still keep the `mailnews.sendformat.auto_downgrade`, `mail.default_html_action` `mailnews.html_domains` and `mailnews.plaintext_domains` as preferences and their corresponding functionality?

Should we keep a UI element for `mailnews.sendformat.auto_downgrade`?

And, if we get rid of the `askSendFormat.xhtml` dialog, then the `AskUser` preference for `mailnews.default_html_action` (https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/ce083e3d3bd470e28981aceeb1028807ffd15a78/mailnews/compose/public/nsIMsgCompose.idl#49) will have to be removed. And for cases where `mailnews.default_html_action` has already been unset or set to `AskUser` by the user will need to change it to a different value. Specifically here https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/ce083e3d3bd470e28981aceeb1028807ffd15a78/mailnews/compose/src/nsMsgCompose.cpp#4724 Would you want it to fallback to `Both` (i.e. Text+HTML)?

Is it ok to simply remove an entry from the `nsIMsgCompSendFormat` idl and ignore a set `AskUser` `mailnews.default_html_action` preference? Or is there some specific conversion I would need to do?
