I spoke too early. For example this letter no longer works as usual:
#+TITLE: test
#+OPTIONS: foldmarks:nil
* Letter
my letter
** TO :TO:
someone
somewhere
But this is because nil has a "new" meaning of "not set" as opposed to
"false". Is this OK? On one hand nil usually means False in ox, I
think (e.g. inline:nil → inline comments not posted), but on the other
hand nil often means not set in Emacs. . . It is nice to having to
look at the extra setkomavariable, but I'm not sure whether it's
right.
I also find something like this ghastly:
(unless author-set
(when author (format "\\setkomavar{fromname}{%s}\n"
(org-export-data author info))))
(unless email-set
(when email (format "\\setkomavar{fromemail}{%s}\n" email)))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
;; Letter Class Option File
(when lco
[...]
))
;; Define "From" data.
(when (and author author-set) (format "\\setkomavar{fromname}{%s}\n"
(org-export-data author info)))
(when from-address (format "\\setkomavar{fromaddress}{%s}\n"
from-address))
(when phone-number
(format "\\setkomavar{fromphone}{%s}\n" phone-number))
(when (and email email-set) (format "\\setkomavar{fromemail}{%s}\n"
email))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But perhaps it is the only way to get what you want. Also, with the
current setup, I can only set email before or after. Why? What if I
want to let PLACE be dependent on my LCO file versus my org file?
