Hi Rasmus

Have you tried ox-koma-letter.el?


not yet, I just started recently switching back to latex and g-brief did what I needed for a formal german letter and I just need it once per month so far.
 
#+TITLE: title

#+BEGIN_g-brief
... here comes text
#+END_g-brief

OK thanks, I take it as indication that the exporter can't be configured to do this implicitely...
 

Yes.


could you please be more specific?

...

   "depends on the following org-mode version 8.0 or greater"


cheers
