We're sorry about this.  We hope to fix it in the next version of EndLink.

The algorithm for letter after year is as follows:

If the reference has the same in-text citation and the style has the "Letter
After Year" box checked in the Sort Order dialog from the Edit Styles menu,
then put letters after the year.

So (Smiley 1983a) and (Smiley 1983b) show up if the bibliography looks like
this:

Smiley, Le Carre, et al., 1983a, .....
Smiley and Lewis, 1983b,......

but if the in-text citations are (Smiley, Le Carre, et al, 1983) and (Smiley
and Lewis, 1983), then there is no ambiguity and no need for a letter after
the year.

NOTE: earlier versions of EndNote also looked at whether or not the
references were next to each other in the bibliography, but this has changed
in EndNote Plus 1.3 for Mac.
