I confirm it too with some html emails. For plain text it's ok.

I confirm this is happening in Fedora 29 64bit KDE using Kmail and Kontact. Print Preview turns a blank page. Also, attempting a physical printed copy turns a physical blank page. I have all the latest updates. Printing does not work from Kmail via Kontact.
I suspect that this is a bug in the QtWebEngine print method. I am seeing this with QtWebEngine 5.11.3. Falkon also spits out a blank page when I try to print directly to the printer. Printing to PDF works in Falkon (which uses the dedicated printToPdf method in that case, which is a good idea, by the way, because it will produce a normal PDF, whereas using the normal print method will render that PDF to a bitmap per page and then produce a PDF containing the bitmap(s)), but not in KMail (which, I guess, always uses the generic print method). This probably needs to be reported to Qt upstream if it isn't yet. It would also be important to know whether it works with QtWebEngine 5.12.x. I cannot easily test it at this time because we have no QtWebEngine 5.12.x builds in Fedora yet.
I'm updating the summary because, sadly, not only the preview is blank.
Also now getting this on Kubuntu 19.04. Can confirm: "I'm getting blank preview on all messages, plain text and html." Using KMail 5.8.3, KF5 5.56, Qt version 5.11.3.

I just tested here KMAil 5.10 Qt 5.13 and it's ok for me.
As I wrote, I think this is a bug in QtWebEngine 5.11. Looks like it's fixed in 5.13. Somebody needs to test 5.12.
I'm working with Gentoo Linux and today I updated to qt* 5.12 with qtwebengine-5.12.2. I confirm that both print preview and printing work again after updating to Qt version 5.12. BTW: - kde-apps 18.12.3 - kde-frameworks 5.56.0 - kde-plasma 5.15.3 Regards, Florian
Got an update to qtwebengine Qt5.12.2 today on Fedora 29 and indeed printing from KMail works again! this is not a kmail bug.
After I did my recent updates, Fedora 29 is now printing using kmail via Kontact.
