I'm having problems with messages bouncing because they are too large. I'm pretty sure it's because they're formatted. If I just copy them and change to plain text, they get through fine. But the "from" field says they're from me.
I'd rather sort it out by going to the moderation queue in the administrator web interface and accepting them. Is there a way I can convert them to plain text at the same time, to keep them short? If I let them through as they are, then any replies are also too big and are held for moderation and on and on.
Thanks.

There are a couple of ways to handle this.
See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/24A9> for one approach.
A better way is to use the list's content filtering to remove any text/html parts and collapse multipart/alternative to the first part only.
This will make the message ultimately sent to the list smaller, but won't stop it being held. If you have access to the Mailman installation, you can avoid the hold by moving the MimeDel module ahead of the Hold module in the processing pipeline by adding the following to mm_cfg.py
# # Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so "too big" is based on content filtered # message. # GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel') GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel')
