Thx Wolfgang,
this makes sense, as I still had your old examples online and build my

something in using it, but that way it is more flexible and with an

in the below way one should also be able to still use a kind of the old way

Again million thx for clearing it
The new version of the module has now a built in system for address entries,
named “addressentry”.
With the command \defineaddressentry you can create a new entry and with the
command \addressentry you can access them. Instead of specifying each entry by
name you can also set a default name with the addressentry key for
\startletter/\setupletter which is now used when omit the first argument of
\addressentry.
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletteroptions
[ bodyfont=calluna,
whitespace=line]
\defineaddressentry
[frodo]
[lastname={Beutlin},
firstname={Frodo},
address={Der Bühl\\Beutelsend/Hobbingen im Auenland},
1={Bilbo Beutlin},
2={Rauchen von Pfeifenkraut},
3={der Ringträger},
4={Bilbos Erbe}]
\defineaddressentry
[sam]
[lastname={Gamdschie},
firstname={Samweis},
address={Beutelhaldenweg 3\\Hobbingen im Auenland},
1={Rosie Kattun},
2={Knullen},
3={des Ringträgers treuester Gefährte}]
\defineaddressentry
[tom]
[lastname={Bombadil},
firstname={Tom},
address={Im Alten Wald},
1={Goldbeere},
2={trällern von Nonsensliedern},
3={Meister von Wald, Wasser und Berg}]
\setupaddressentry

\startletter
[addressentry=tom,
toname={\addressentry[name]},
toaddress={\addressentry[address]},
opening={Lieber \addressentry[name],},
closing={„O Frühling und Sommerzeit und danach wieder Frühling!\\O Wind auf
dem Wasserfall und Lachen des Laubes!“}]
oder \addressentry[tom][3], wie Dich Deine geliebte \addressentry[tom][1]
nennt. Kannst Du Dich noch an einen Herrn \addressentry[frodo][lastname],
genauer gesagt \addressentry[frodo][firstname]~\addressentry[frodo][lastname],
denn es gab ja auch noch den Herrn \addressentry[frodo][1], erinnern. Er war
\addressentry[frodo][3] im dritten Zeitalter und \addressentry[frodo][3].
Begleitet wurde er von
\addressentry[sam][firstname]~\addressentry[sam][lastname],
\addressentry[sam][3].
Beider Vorlieben waren sehr weltlich. Der \addressentry[frodo][firstname]
genoss das \addressentry[frodo][2], sein Gefährte schätzte eine gute Mahlzeit

Weißt du noch? Mithrandir hat Dir bestimmt viel von ihnen erzählt.

Hi followers of ConTeXt,
does something in the lettermodule in the texlive version and the
minimal version of ConTeXt has changed, as both no longer recognize the
\useletterextension[addrentry,label]

lines and complain about an unknown command, if yes, what would be the

I haven’t added this function to the new version because I don’t need it.
When you really need it I can add it but context itself has a similar
function with the \setvariables and \getvariable which takes only a few
more lines than \addressentry does.
Below you can see how the example from the KOMA-Script manuals looks with
\setvariables (you’re free to use different keys) but it’s no problem to
write a simple \addressentry wrapper around this and provide it with the
letter module when you want to share your data with LaTeX.
