Description
Expected behavior
Successfully attach an attachment to a reply
Actual behavior
Nothing, but I found an error message in the web console: no file attached

It seems like the attachment is maybe too big, as then retrying the operation with KMail, I get an explanation error:

Mail app
Mail app version: lastest stable
Mailserver or service: mx.nextcloud.com
Server configuration
No idea, see mail server :)
Client configuration
Browser: Firefox 95
Operating system: openSUSE tumbleweed
