What about something like:

\definepapersize[env][width=4.25in,height=9.5in]
\papersize[env][env]

\setuplayout
   [topspace=1in,bottomspace=1in,backspace=1.5in,cutspace=.5in,
    header=0pt,footer=0pt,margin=0pt,
    width=middle,height=middle]

\starttext
\rotated
   [rotation=90]
   {\rbox{
      Name\\
      Street\\
      State
   }}%
\stoptext

Never mind. I did it in plain TeX with pstricks thus:
------------------------------------------------------------
\input pstricks
\special{papersize=4.25in,9.5in}
\voffset 4.5in
\parindent 0pt
\parskip 0pt
\def\crlf{\hfil\break}
\rput{90}{
\vbox{

Eldersburg, MD 21784

{
\leftskip 3.75in
\obeylines
\input addr
}
}
}
\bye
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of printing a horizontal page and rotating the page
I printed a vertical page and rotated the text within it.

Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common
problem.

Hi John,

That was the same for me: \rotated is not defined.
However looking into my ConTeXt archives I found an example about 
rotations, and after a new definition of your paper size discovered 
that the following works: I hope it is what you are looking for...

Best regards: OK

%%% envelope-2.tex
\definepapersize[env][width=9.5in,height=4.25in]

\setuppapersize
   [env,rotated] % this rotates the page
   [env,landscape] % onto a landscaped size

\setuplayout[location=left,width=middle,height=middle]

\showframe

Hello John,

if you are uncertain, go to http://texshow.contextgarden.net and
search for something like "rotat" or so.
