Version 6.0 of newlfm is announced.
This is a pretty major revision of newlfm. It corrects an inconsistency
with geometry (by removing dependence on geometry). It incorporates several
missing components from the page.
Most importantly, Version 6.0 incorporates a keyed-value approach to
parameter setting. Rather than setting all parameters using the options
section of the \documentclass command, the keyed-value approach allows the
parameters to be set using several keyed-value parameters (i.e.,
\LetterP{stdletter,nofromaddr} ). These allow the entire composition of the
letter (dimensions, etc.) to be stored and used as callable values from the
letter database file.

newlfm – Write letters, facsimiles, and memos
Integrates the letter class with fancyhdr and geometry to automatically make letterhead stationery. Useful for writing letters, fax, and memos. You can set up an address book using ‘wrapper’ macros. You put all the information for a person into a wrapper and then put the wrapper in a document. The class handles letterheads automatically. You place the object for the letterhead (picture, information, etc.) in a box and all sizing is set automatically.
