Of course, the alignment is a framed feature.

You can use \setupletteroptions[indenting=…] which only passed to the content section.

This should be alternative c and not e.


\usemodule[letter]

\setupletterlayer[reference][alternative=c]

%\setupletterlayer[reference][alternative=c,list=reference] % default: list=date
%\setupletter[reference=\currentdate]

\setupletteroptions[indenting={yes,medium,next}]

\startletter
\input knuth
\stopletter
