Viktor,

Good to hear from you!

Hmm, it should be populated by the headline function each time. . .
That is at least the idea.  I.e.
   - When exporting `org-koma-letter-special-content' gets populated
     and is available until next export.  
   - When exports run again stuff might have changed so I want to
     repopulate the variable.

Perhaps I had loaded some magic in Emacs when I tested it that wasn't
preserved in the patch.  I'll test it again ASAP.

No it doesn't use info.  I guess it's just for consistency.  It's more
or less taken from ox-groff.  I don't mind removing it.

Thanks!

So you'd set org-koma-letter-ps-prefix to nil or ""?  The thing is, in
scrlttr2 does not add a ps-prefix by itself, which seems inconsistent.
So with your suggesting we'd get a more vanilla feel, which I guess
would normally be nice, but here somehow feel inconsistent to me.  I'm
happy to oblige on this issue.

The reason why I didn't add it as this point is that I'd want to keep
it 'backward compatible' and I had to think about it.  I was toying
with introducing a =:with-legacy= variable that would govern which of
=* TO :TO:= and =#+TO_ADDRESS= would be printed if both are present.

What do you think?

Thanks for your comments.
