Hi Morten,

direct_mail appends its direct mail fields to the TCA definition of
tt_address.

It is possible direct_mail is loading first and then tt_address comes
second and resets the TCA definition of the tt_address table, so you do
not see the direct mail category fields.

As I understand it, the extensions are loaded in the order of the
extList key (found in localconf.php). You might confirm that tt_address
is following direct_mail.

If so, you could force direct_mail to the end by uninstalling and
reinstalling that extension. When you install an extension, it is added
to the end of extList.

(Another order dependent relationship I have seen is that dam must
follow rtehtmlarea.)

An idea for you to check anyway,
Curt
