Hi,

FWIW, from a users view it would be nice if:

- Use Author/Email information from org file
- If not present use information from LCO file
- if neither org file nor LCO file has any information use
  user-full-name and user-email-address

Could this be solved by having several e.g. `setkomavar{fromname}'
and so on in the tex file, so is created as follows:


if no #+AUTHOR in org-file and user-full-name is set:
    add user-full-name
if #+LCO(s) in org-file:
    add LCO file(s)
if #+AUTHOR in org-file:
    add \setkomavar{fromname}{#+AUTHOR}
....  same for email
add \setkomavar{signature}{\usekomavar{fromname}}


so the result tex file may have:


\setkomavar{fromname}{Hans Wurst}
\setkomavar{fromemail}{hans_wurst@example.com}
...
\setkomavar{fromname}{Reiner Zufall}
\setkomavar{fromemail}{reiner_zufall@example.com}
\setkomavar{signature}{\usekomavar{fromname}}


This probably isn't a `clean' solution, but should work without a need
to grep LCO files.

Best regards
Robert
