The letter document style dated 5-Nov-91, contained in the Jan92 release of LaTeX has a severe problem: the spacing of the list environment and friends will come out wrong. The same problem appears in all document styles and style options that redefine the \begin{document} command. It is necessary to add the control sequence \@noskipsecfalse to the end of the definition of the \document macro. I append a diff to this message, so that you can update letter.doc, letter.sty, and latex.bug. The updated files will be available in the archives during next week.
