In 3.18 that dialogue box has a tick box saying "Don't show this again"
or words to that effect.

Failing that, the setting is in dconf and you need to do something like

   dconf write "/org/gnome/evolution/mail/prompt-on-composer-mode-switch" false

I *think* it's the same for 3.16.x

Rather than using dconf to write a new value, you may be better of
using 'dconf-editor' and browsing to the correct key and setting it
within the gui.

I am also duty bound to remind you that fiddling around with dconf
settings has the ability to make programs unusable.  Don't randomly
change things if you don't know what they do.
