Perhaps this is indeed a latex issue related to the scrlttr2 class. I have reverted back to Jambu's original .scrlttr2 file, added the BIND, changed [jambu] to [pdj] for the LCO, removed the *encl section. I also applied the patch to org-latex.el. No maketitle appears in the .tex, but from the commandline i also have errors: /---- | (c:\Users\pjo16137\Dropbox\Organizer\export\brief.aux) | ("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX\tex\latex\base\ts1cmr.fd") | ! Undefined control sequence. | \select@language ... \@empty }\languageshorthands | {none}\babel@beginsave \cs.. | l.24 \begin{document} | | ? \---- Maybe this error results in the blank first page with "none". This issue has not much to do anymore with org-mode, I'll try to find some Latex help. Thanx Jambu for the help. 2011/7/30 Jambunathan K : > > Hello Peter > > Thanks for your interest in scrlttr2. > >> Hi, >> >> Since a few days i use the scrlttr2 org-mode implementation of >> Jambunathan.
