How do I tell Thunderbird never to send (or even try to send) html emails?

In the account settings of Thunderbird (version 11.0.1) I have disabled HTML and set it to compose messages as plain text. That works for new messages. However, when I get an HTML email and reply to that mail, Thunderbird uses HTML.

I went to the setting in:

Tools ? Options ? Composition ? Send Options ? Plain Text Domains

And have tried *.* as the domain name. I also changed the default text format in Settings - Compose - Send options.

Neither of them works, the reply is still using HTML (for my own text).

How can I really reply in plain text only, regardless of incoming?
