Subject: Modifying an existing letter style

I am typesetting a letter using Wolfgang's letter module. I have a
requirement that is not satisfied by any of the existing styles, namely
that the to-address, i.e. the address, and the from-address, i.e., the
header, need to start at the same height and be positioned next to one
another. I am using the modified style and am trying to adjust the layout
via he \setupletterstyle command without success.

I have look at the sources and have seen how the elements of the various
styles are stacked.  All styles use the default style, which
defines lefthead and righthead elements, but only the din styles and those
styles derived from them seem to use these elements.

Is there any way to acheive the required side-by-side layout short of
cobbling together my own style? Any helpful advice would be greatly
appreciated.
