Hello,
we had problems with empty outgoing mails from RT. Searching in our log files,
I found the same error as <gilb...@dido.ca> had. I found this mail below and
thought the problem would be solved in RT 4.2.10
Now we have RT 4.2.10 but we still have the same problem. Customers receive an
empty mail and in the log files I can find the following:
[error]: Failed to downgrade HTML to plain text: Can't call method
"content" on an undefined value at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/HTML/FormatText/WithLinks/AndTables.pm line 217.
[...]
Now I switched to HTML template and found out that now the outgoing mails are
OK. But the error messages in the log files are still there.
Should I care about this? When will there be a final solution?
Best regards
Bernhard

This is caused by failure of the HTML -> Text rendering engine. It triggers on
email (or comments/correspondence) which need to be embedded into plain-text
templates; the most common failing case is HTML that includes tables.
We're testing a branch (4.2/html-external-formatter) which we expect to be in
4.2.10; it addresses the problem by adding an optional dependency
(HTML::FormatExternal) which uses an external text-only browser (such as w3m or
elinks) to render the HTML to text.
