The “alternatives” are different predefined or user created layouts
for the elements (like head, reference etc.) and some of the layouts
restrict the options.

With the alternative “a” i print only the values from the variables
“fromname” and “fromaddress” while “left”, “middle” and “right” are
complexer. Another feature from the last three alternatives is that
the alignment is fixed and you can’t change it, when you want
a different layout then create your own header.
