Woo, I found an accidental feature! ;-)
I don't think "line" is documented in your manual.
Id wouldbe great if you'd also add the label stuff below!

Ok, in the manual it looks like.

Thank you!
I don't think it would make sense to add my personal preferences to  
the module, just please document this.

E.g. there are just too much IM services to provide them all; I myself  
use "Address" as label for the street and add the city without label,  
"Web" instead of "URL" as label for my homepage etc.

Ok; I wrote the capital intentionally for my suggestion of using the  
key as label.

I saw that in the manual and wanted to try it on my own first - but  
thank you very much!


BTW I tried to come up with measures for Swiss business letters, but  
only found some advise for secretaries how to write addresses: http://home.intergga.ch/beck/wg/awi/schreibregeln/4_Briefe.pdf
My typographical literature is only about Germany.
Most swiss business letters are sent in B5 envelopes with a window on  
the right side - I could meter some "right looking" Swiss letters if  
you'd like.


Greetlings from Lake Constance!
