[Typo3] direct mail: mailformat disappears, no newsletter is sent

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi Matthias,

I'm not quite sure, if I got you right. I guess you're talking about BE  
forms?

If so, you're partially right. direct_mail hides the fields  
module_sys_dmail_category and module_sys_dmail_html. But these fields  
aren't at all in the table without direct_mail. So it's not possible that  
these field "disappear" after installing the extension.

Have you previously installed any other extension, e.g.  
sr_direct_mail_ext, that may change the TCA for the tables tt_address or  
fe_users? Try to uninstall them and reinstall them after installation of  
direct_mail.

In any other cases you should supply some more info about your  
installation, at least versions of TYPO3 and direct_mail.

At another point you're right: HTML mails aren't sent if HTML isn't  
enabled for the address or user. Without changing the TCA it's not  
possible to set this from the BE. If you're used to insert the recipients  
 from the BE this is another hint that you use some extension (or local  
hack) to enable that.

Regards
Thorsten
