Hullo,
I'm trying to write a letter, but it gets all screwy. The first batch of
letter settings works OK (opening, closing, signature); but then the from*
and to* blocks fail resulting in a PDF that just quotes that code on a
separate page.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong although I'm looking at the manuals:
http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-
letter/doc/context/third/letter/correspondence.pdf
MkII from TexLive 2008.
Any help welcome :]

The following should not be a separate parameter. If you put another
\setupletter in front of it, it should work. Or just leave out the
additional [] pairs.
--> \setupletter[opening=..., closing=..., signature=..., fromname=...,
fromaddress=...,toname=...,toaddress=...]
I usually prefer to split it up:
\setupletter[opening.....]
\setupletter[fromname......]
\setupletter[toname.....]

Hi Andreas,
thank you answering the question.
Here is a new feature from the last version (4. April) which works only
in mkiv:
\usemodule[letter]
\starttext
\startletter
\input knuth\par
\ps{postscript}
\cc{carbon copy}
\encl{enclosure}
\stopletter
\startletter[postscript={postscript},copy={carbon
copy},enclosure={enclosure}]
\input knuth\par
\stopletter
\stoptext
Wolfgang

New problem:
Using the \ps{} command results in failure to generate the PDF, claiming \ps
is not defined.
Is it perhaps not included in MkII (or Tex Live 2008)?
Cheers,
Matija

Is it normal that an empty line in the "letter" module does *not* trigger a
paragraph?
Cheers,
Matija
