It could be argued that there ought to be an option not to count page 0 as a
page in any case. In this specific situation, however, you can use
SECTIONPAGES instead of NUMPAGES since the letter and envelope are separate
sections.

When an envelope is added to a document it is counted as a page as far as
{NUMPAGE} is concerned. So if there is an envelope and 2 pages, the
footer
says "Page 0 out of 3, PAGE 1 OUT OF 3 AND Page 2 out of 3. Not good for
legal documents that need to tell the total number of real pages.
Suggest
that the envelope not be counted as a page by {NUMPAGE}
