Cool.  Let us know how it goes.

That's a bug in the documentation, if anything.  The rest of the
docstring is fine.  It gives you a mean of formatting the subject
line, e.g. center it and make it bold.

I'll correct it later.

I'm kind of busy now, but check the docstring of
`org-koma-letter-use-title' and `org-koma-letter-prefer-subject'.
Hopefully setting the latter to non-nil will give you what you want.

This is a feature.

I don't think there is a code bug.  There is a potentially a
documentation bug in the first line of the doc string you mentioned.
