That's where you configure the send options for recipients who are marked to 
not accept HTML mail in your address book. 

To compose messages in HTML all the time, you need to Edit - Account 
Settings - Composition & Addressing

You can toggle the preferred message composition method by holding the shift 
key when clicking on the Write, Reply or Reply All button.
