Details

I performed a fresh installation of bugzilla 4.4.6 using the latest Template-Toolkit v2.26 perl library on debian. I am using perl v5.10.1.

All HTML emails were missing a large block from the top of the email from the initial <html> tag all the way down to the first <tr> tag on the table listing the table. As the <table> tag itself was missing, the email was very badly formatted in all email clients.

After a lot of investigation I narrowed down the problem line template/en/default/email/bugmail.html.tmpl line 17

[% Hook.process('start') %]

For some reason, whenever this line was reached, all the previously generated HTML up to and including this line gets removed in the email content.

I rather stumbled across a workaround by wrapping a debug command around it. Not sure why this works but it does. Not an ideal solution though!

[% DEBUG on %]
  [% Hook.process('start') %]
[% DEBUG off %]

And then run .checksetup.pl
What extensions do you have enabled in Bugzilla?  The Hook.process statement is allowing extensions to do things at that point.  It's possible an extension is overwriting the email up to that point when the extension gets its shot.
Just the default ones that come with the installation, although the disabled file exists in all of them so I actually have no extensions enabled. I did upgrade the DB from bugzilla version 3.6 so not sure if that has an effect?

Just noticed that even with my workaround some of the HTML is missing. This is how the top of the email source looks:

            <th>What</th>
            <th>Removed</th>
            <th>Added</th>
          </tr>

         <tr> <!-- this is where the HTML content started without the DEBUG commands -->
           <td style=3D"text-align:right;">Priority</td>
           <td>Normal

and so on until </html>
Nobody else reported or can reproduce this issue. I suspect you indeed have some extension which eats part of the email. I suggest you ask for help using the support mailing-list, see https://www.bugzilla.org/support.
