OK, found them under ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/nuqi35wy.default/Mail/Local

(I have no idea what the 'nuqi35wy' is all about.  Anybody know?)

The upper part of that page refers to the per-recipient rules in the
address book.  The lower part might work if I can enter *.* for the
domains to send plain text to.  I'll try playing around with that.  But
I still think that there must be a global setting so that I never send
mail as html.

Thanks Alex.
