I do have this list in the address-book as prefers text, which I usually do.
The main issue I had is that a text email also did not accept the jpg
attachment. Then thunderbird started misbehaving (still an open issue for me).

where they do not have anything about me in the first place.
It is also not at all clear (was not to me) that this notice is from
