Doug,

Well,  looking into the code itself, I see the following:
     // replace the predefined tokens
     // data about the user
     checkHTML.replace("$OWNER_NAME", file->user().name());
     checkHTML.replace("$OWNER_ADDRESS", file->user().address());
     checkHTML.replace("$OWNER_CITY", file->user().city());
     checkHTML.replace("$OWNER_STATE", file->user().state());
     // data about the account institution
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_NAME", institution.name());
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_STREET", institution.street());
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_TELEPHONE",  
institution.telephone());
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_TOWN", institution.town());
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_CITY", institution.city());
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_POSTCODE", institution.postcode());
     checkHTML.replace("$INSTITUTION_MANAGER", institution.manager());
     // data about the transaction
     checkHTML.replace("$DATE",  
KGlobal::locale()->formatDate(QDate::currentDate(), KLocale::LongDate));
     checkHTML.replace("$CHECK_NUMBER", (*it).split().number());
     checkHTML.replace("$PAYEE_NAME",  
file->payee((*it).split().payeeId()).name());
     checkHTML.replace("$PAYEE_ADDRESS",  
file->payee((*it).split().payeeId()).address());
     checkHTML.replace("$PAYEE_CITY",  
file->payee((*it).split().payeeId()).city());
     checkHTML.replace("$PAYEE_POSTCODE",  
file->payee((*it).split().payeeId()).postcode());
     checkHTML.replace("$PAYEE_STATE",  
file->payee((*it).split().payeeId()).state());
     checkHTML.replace("$AMOUNT_STRING",  
converter.convert((*it).split().shares().abs()));
     checkHTML.replace("$AMOUNT_DECIMAL",  
MyMoneyUtils::formatMoney((*it).split().shares().abs(), currency));
     checkHTML.replace("$MEMO", (*it).split().memo());

I suppose nobody expected anyone to print checks they weren't writing  
today.  It looks like it would be fairly easy to add a new line using  
the transaction date.  I suppose this should be filed as a "whishlist"  
at bugs.kde.org, so it doesn't get lost.
