I have another problem with letter.sty: the following 

		   %to address
           \begin{letter}{\bf Ms.~Foo Public\\
                          XYZ company, Inc.\\
                          Town, State Zip}
makes the _entire_ toaddress bold.  Fair enough.  However,
in this second example,

%from address
\address{\sf ABCDEFG Project\\
          Utopia City, CA Zip\\
		  U.S.A.}

ONLY THE FIRST LINE is in \sf.  The second and third lines are
typeset in \rm.  To get around this, I use the following.

%from address
\address{\sf ABCDEFG Project\\
          \sf Utopia City, CA Zip\\
		  \sf U.S.A.}

Is this a feature or a bug?

Also sometime back there was a demand for left justified
\closing.  Any answers to that?
