ox-koma-letter.el: subtree vs buffer, precedence of properties, superscript transcoding

[Myles English]

Hello,

I have noticed some strange things about koma letter exports (current
git master 329683).

1) subtree scope export results differently than buffer scope export

2) a signature specified in the subtree property does not take
   precedence in subtree export

3) superscripts on the dates behave differently in the subject and
   date properties, i.e. 20\textsuperscript{th} & 20^{th}

The files included below constitute a Fairly Small Working Example (a
FSWE) that illustrate those things.  Using those files, I start emacs
like this:

emacs -Q -l config.el a.org   # or b.org

Thanks,
Myles


The Files
---------

1) a.org  Export like this: C-c C-e C-s k o   ________________________

:EXPORT_TO_ADDRESS: Orgsters\\Internet
:EXPORT_OPENING: Dear Mr X,
:EXPORT_AUTHOR: Ronald Reagan
:EXPORT_CLOSING: Yours sincerely,

The thing that happened was completely unacceptable.

Hi Myles,

Thanks for your report.

It seems changes set in properties are not registered as changes in the
file cf. 2.  Thus, some fields you'd like to get after the LCO file aren't
detected as changed.

Somehow, when you specify it as a property it's not detected
as :inbuffer-signature.

It depends on whether the keyword is interpreted.  SUBJECT should be
interpreted.  I think it was added in the patch in Eric's thread last
week.  I will push it when I get back to that computer.

Hope this helps,
Rasmus

PS: You can use special headings for specifying stuff like addresses, and
    maybe even subjects (I don't remember).

Yes, and thanks both of you for looking into this.
