Hi all (but especially Wolfgang Schuster):

I'd like to use Wolfgang's t-letter module to set up a very basic American-style letter. I see (by looking into t-letter.tex) that there are at least plans for this to be possible. Is there a little example anywhere of how to get started?

(Really, for my purposes, the basic DIN example as given in lm.pdf is pretty good - just wondering what the other possibility looks like.)

Hi David,

I planned to provide a few american letter styles and you saw my comments in t-letter but I'm interested to know if want the element structure like normal block, semiblock etc. [1] formats where the position from every element depends on the last element or if it is acceptable to write styles where the positions for the insideaddress, the date and all other elements is fixed [2,page 4] like in my current styles and only the body text, the subject etc. depends on the page layout.

This is important to know for me both if have to use two different systems for both solutions and the first requires more work because I have to take care to allow you to switch between all styles.

Thanks Wolfgang. I don't know the correct answer to this, so I'll wait for someone who does. David
