It wasn't my intention to send an email with a ton of "Gobble-dee-Gook" 😊
MS Office offers the choices of HTML, Plain Text or Rich Text. I don't know much Rich Text will "blow-up" an email message. I do try to choose Plain Text, but sometimes I do ferr-gitt.
I don't know how email generated on an Apple device such as an iPhone formats the text, html or non-html. Not quite sure where I might find that info, will need to search online....
I know with Mailman's software which Hamtech now uses, is if a message is being held for moderation, there is a link also provided to the user which allows him/her to cancel the pending email, saving the list owner/moderator the time it takes to allow or deny a message.
Just a thought....

I believe I have figured it out, but could be wrong.
Seems the list is set for non-rich text (no html).
I thought though that when I replied to another post, that it would be in the same format (non-html) as from the originator.
If I forget and originate a message with html it’s rejected with a note that the body of text is set to a maximum of 22k.
I just got in the moderation queue a message that was a HUGE wall of HTML formatting cruft. Any actual content was buried in a massive amount of noise. Simple HTML is OK, but half a megabyte of font and formatting instructions to send a two sentence message is a bit much. Please don't do that.
