Steps to reproduce:
It used to be possible to set the preferred mail format (text or html) on a per-contact basis. The field is now gone from the GUI, I don't know when it was removed. As of v91 the PreferMailFormat setting in the address book was apparently still recognized and respected. As of v102 the field (if present in abook.sqlite) is ignored.
Thunderbird 102.7.2 (64-bit)
macOS Monterey 12.6.3
Actual results:
There's no way to set the preferred email format per-contact. Mail format is determined by the global setting.
Expected results:
There should be a way to set the preferred email format per-contact.

That's correct Steve. We removed that option deliberately, because it had outlived its purpose, was badly implemented and pretty much unpredictable in outcome except for simple cases.
