You mean, approve the last patch, in the line "LyX does nothing to solve
what is understood as latex bugs"?
I'm fine with the patch, since at least it removes a rather ungly workaround.
But I'm waiting if there is some feedback from the letter author.
I wrote to the class author and tried to join him by phone without success.
Anyway, I reviewed the class code and it is clear that A4 settings are
hardcoded, that must be the reason why the optional papersize arguments
have beeen removed when shifting from lettre.sty to lettre.cls.
lettre.cls offers a tuning mechanism with so called .ins files (see default.ins
in the lettre directory). I guess that the best way for users living in an area
where A4paper is not the standard would be to tune default.ins as e.g.
letter.ins to control the letter layout if not satisfactory (the 3fold mark in
particular).
In the meantime, attached is a version of the patch enhanced with a warning
about this.
