+Thank you for promulgating the newlfm.cls letter/fax/memo class. I am
+gearing up to use it in my daily work, and am also using it to try to
+improve my LaTeX and (nearly-nonexistent) TeX skills.
+
+I am having the following problem in the "Regarding" section, which I
+believe is due to a bug.
+
+In the attached testmemo.tex file, when I use the option "stdletter",
+the "Regarding" line prints out "Testing"; however, when I use the
+option "stdmemo", the "Re" line prints out "---BLANK---". As near
+as I can tell, the @re@line variable is not being set correctly, but
+with my basic and rudimentary TeX skills, I'm at a loss to figure out how.
+
+Attached are extracd.tex, letrinfo.tex, and my test case,
+testmemo.tex. I am using newlfm v 8.3, downloaded this past week from
+CTAN.
+
+Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

+Dear Dr. Thompson,
+
+I have just begun using your newlfm package and have already found it
+highly useful. Thank you very much for making it available to us.
+
+I am writing today to inform you that newlfm may have a minor bug. The
+newlfm that I am using is of version "2004/11/02 v8.3". It seems that
+this version ignores the memonoto, memonofrom, and memono
+options. Looking at the code of newlfm, I think that "true" in lines
+513, 515, and 517 should be replaced with "false".
+
+
+ 513: \DeclareOption{memonofrom} {\setboolean{@memo@e}{true}}%
+ ^^^^
+ 514: \define@key{ov}{memonofrom}[true]{\iffixt{#1}{@memo@e}}%
+ 515: \DeclareOption{memonoto} {\setboolean{@memo@g}{true}}%
+ ^^^^
+ 516: \define@key{ov}{memonoto}[true]{\iffixt{#1}{@memo@g}}%
+ 517: \DeclareOption{memonore} {\setboolean{@memo@f}{true}}%
+ ^^^^
+ 518: \define@key{ov}{memonore}[true]{\iffixt{#1}{@memo@f}}%
+
+
+Thanks again for your offering the wonderful newlfm.

+
+I just started using 2004/11/02 v8.3 of newlfm. Nice job!
+
+
+I'm having a small problem though. I have specified a custom header
+with graphics and that is working properly. If I try to specify the
+Blankheader option to turn it off, the file fails to format and I get
+an error. I have a feeling that I'm not specifying this option
+properly and I couldn't find it in any of your examples.
+
+
+How do I invoke this option?
+
+
+Thanks,
