At first I typed "Mrs Michelle Steiner" and deleted "Mrs" thinking it
was a bit too formal.

There's a lot more at stake with "Mrs" than formality. You're now flirting with a whole Pandora's Box of issues: is the woman in question actually married or not? Does she perhaps take offense at the inherent sexism of having titles for women that depend on marital status in the first place? Is she of a sufficient age and/or degree of conservativity that she would consider it incorrect to use "Mrs." with her own given name rather than that of her husband?

Ok, then, that's why "Ms." was invented, right?  But you never know
when your interlocutor might be so conservative as to be offended by
*that* title's very existence.  Still, at the present time it's
probably the safest alternative, which is why I used it in my
intentionally-over-formal reply to Michelle earlier.
