Well that explains why I was able to find a way to make it work as an ert...
I just got home from work. I'd thought of the fact that the date was
embedded right after the "from" address. And while I had tried the ERT
version on page 1 I hadn't done so in the right part of the page body.
So I moved the \date{} ERT from the beginning of the body text (via C-x)
to the beginning of the "from" address (via C-v). And this time (C-t)
yielded a gv presentation of the letter that no longer included the date
below the "from" address. So I guess that if I get the ERT in there early
enough on the first page I can slam that barn door on that poor old cows
nose, just before it gets out of the barn... ;-)#
