Subject: Left-justifying the date in the letter module

I am still having a problem with left-justifying the date in letters.  The
date is towards the left but is aligned several mm to the right of the
other text.


\usemodule[letter]

%% Omit the word "Date", attempt to left-justify date (doesn't align
perfectly)
\setupletterlayer[reference][alternative=c]

\defineletterelement[layer][address][example]{\correspondenceparameter{toname}\par}
\setupletterlayer[address][alternative=example]

\starttext
\startletter[
  toname={The Addressee},
  opening={Dear Addressee:},
  closing={Best regards,},
  signature={I.M. Sender}]

  \input knuth

\stopletter
\stoptext




BTW are the values for the "alternative" key ("example", "e", "c", etc.)
documented somewhere?

Thank you again.

Best,
Michael
