When using Send-to-Kindle app and .txt/.png file, I find that it will default to the filename for the title (so if the filename is the book title you're set) and last author used (so you do have to change this).

When I email an epub to my Kindle, however, the title and author are whatever is in the .opf file. I can change the title/author by editing the .opf file. Is this not what happens with you?

I've heard .txt doesn't work with some operating systems (Android?). So basically, if .txt doesn't work, try .png and vice versa. Otherwise, I don't think it makes a difference.
