Hans,

thanks for your reaction! Here is the minimal example:

1. brief-test.tex is the letter.
2. brief-inhoud-test is the letter content.
3. test-data.xml contains some addresses

The problem is that any backslash in the letter content is changed into 
`` in the pdf file. In the "reference" I also put a backslash (after the 
item "concerns"), but this one survives.

To get that result I use:
\startsetups[letter:content]
\input brief-inhoud-test.tex
\stopsetups

If I use
\startbuffer[texletter]
\input brief-inhoud-test.tex
\stopbuffer

the content is not loaded into the letter at all; the result is then 
``input brief-inhoud-test.tex instead of the content of the file.

The encoding problem with \ is described in one of your manuals, but I 
really don't know where to repair it.

A second problem is that the first address slides down to the content 
much more than it should. I tried to circumvent that by inserting a 
dummy address.

Thanks in advance,

Robert Ermers
