Dear Wolfgang,
I'm struggling with the backaddress option … I tried the following code
---
\usemodule[letter]
\starttext
\setupletter
       [fromname={Arthur Thor},
        fromaddress={Hidden Street 2\\57895 Mysterytown},
        backaddress={Arthur Thor, Hidden Street 2, 57895 Mysterytown}]
\setupletter
       [toname={Mike Willson},
        toaddress={Lindenstreet 12\\78569 TeX City}]
\startletter
       [subject={Step by step guide to writing a letter},
        opening={Dear Reader,},
        closing={Greetings from the Author}]
\input knuth
\stopletter
\stoptext
---
but couldn't see the backaddress line in the output. What do I have to
change?
There is nothing wrong with your file, I just forgot to add it.
Try the following patch, I will release a new version ASAP. Please give
me a feedback if this did work.
\unprotect
\startsetups[letter:backaddress]
\def\\{\lettervalue{\c!backaddress\c!separator}}
\doifelselettervalue\v!backaddress
 {\lettervalue\v!backaddress}
 {\lettervalue\c!fromname
 \doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
 \lettervalue\c!fromaddress}
\stopsetups
\protect
And add \setupletterstyle[backaddress=yes] to your file
because the backaddress is disabled by default.

Regards,
Wolfgang
