I tried to figure it out.  For some reason it kept resetting my name
to "".

My apology.  It should inform me when something is supposed to be
attached but isn't.  I've attached them this time so if they are not
here now something funky is going on that I'm not in control of. 

Attached are three patches that goes on top of Viktor's latest patch
(I've also attached it here since I rebased stuff and might have
changed it by accident).

  1. Viktor's latest patch.
  2. The patch describe above that gets user name and email and works
     on my system. . .
  3. Cleaning up special-tags functions introduced in
     ec108f4c3507ed546a564a48b7379355a65aa9f4.  It works a lot better
     now and some of the mess in the template is moved to other
     functions.
  4. Sets defcustom org-koma-letter-signature nil since that
     corresponds to default scrlttr2 behavior anyway (p. 183 in the
     manual).  

Re 4.: I'd like to do something similar to
org-koma-letter-subject-format.  But I'm not sure how, at the moment
(perhaps make t the default and associate it with the current default
list).
