[MM3-users] Re: Mailman shutting down Hyperkitty: Request too large

If you have content filtering Collapse alternatives = yes, it will become

multipart/mixed text/plain <- empty image/jpeg

after collapsing alternatives and that will trigger the error. See https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/... for a patch (not yet tested) that I think will fix this.

I don't think that's the best we can do, though. Especially if Convert HTML to plain is also yes, we want to preserve the HTML part and convert it, don't we? I think a better (or additional) strategy would be to check the selected alternative for blank, and if so, drop it and try again for an appropriate type.
