(I'll also post this on the list).

You can't set
  
  #+SENDER: 

Which seems to be how it was set up before.  You can use 

  #+AUTHOR

So if you decide to convert your document from something you'd export
with the normal LaTeX exporter it would be smoother this way.  Author
now works the same way that it does in the LaTeX exporter (come to
think of it, we probably shouldn't need to mention anything as it
build on top of the LaTeX exporter anyway). 

Thus, unless you disable export of author it wouldn't work with a LCO
file.  But then we could make export of author conditional on
:with-author as in ox-latex.el and you could use LCO files.

The gain is that in the (for me) 99.9% of the cases where I want to
send a letter in my own name the exporter just figures it out without
be having to specify anything (like in the normal exporter).
