Could be done via a posting-style type variable, or a group property.  You
could have something like 

(defcustom message-html-posting-style 'ask
  "*Controls how and when to post HTML email."
  :group 'message
  :type '(choice (const :tag "Ask when necessary" ask)
                 (const :tag "Always send only HTML" html)
                 (const :tag "Always send HTML and plain text" both)
                 (const :tag "Never send HTML" never)
                 (sexp  :tag "Custom function" nil)))
