I changed the way how section and layer layouts defined, the current version of the module provides
the new command \definelettersectionalternative and \defineletterlayeralternative. For backwards
compatibility I still provide the old \defineletterlement command but there was a bug when
the command is used to create layouts for a section, a new version which fixes this is already online.

Below are two additional methods to create a customized layout for the section.

\usemodule[letter]

% Method 1: unique name for the element
%
% \definelettersectionalternative[mysubject][renderingsetups=mysubject]
%
% \startsetups[mysubject]
%   \bTABLE[frame=off]
%     \bTR
%       \bTD[width=\dimexpr169mm-\backspace\relax]\correspondenceparameter{subject}\eTD
%       \bTD{\tf\correspondenceparameter{date}}\eTD
%      %\bTD{\tf 2011-11-14}\eTD
%     \eTR
%   \eTABLE
% \stopsetups
%
% \setuplettersection[subject][alternative=mysubject]

% Method 2: shared name (fiee) for the element with its name (subject) as prefix

\definelettersectionalternative[subject:fiee][renderingsetup=subject:fiee]

\startsetups[subject:fiee]
  \bTABLE[frame=off]
    \bTR
      \bTD[width=\dimexpr169mm-\backspace\relax]\correspondenceparameter{subject}\eTD
      \bTD{\tf\correspondenceparameter{date}}\eTD
     %\bTD{\tf 2011-11-14}\eTD
    \eTR
  \eTABLE
\stopsetups

\setuplettersection[subject][alternative=fiee]

% Method 3: using the predefined setups alternative
%
% \startsetups[letter:section:subject]
%   \bTABLE[frame=off]
%     \bTR
%       \bTD[width=\dimexpr169mm-\backspace\relax]\correspondenceparameter{subject}\eTD
%       \bTD{\tf\correspondenceparameter{date}}\eTD
%      %\bTD{\tf 2011-11-14}\eTD
%     \eTR
%   \eTABLE
% \stopsetups
%
% \setuplettersection[subject][alternative=setups]

\startletter[subject={Invoice 1}]
...
\stopletter
