Thanks! Of cause, a commented minimal example is attached.

I have two problems and a wish:

1) The reference line and the following subject line are placed too high.

2) The footer has not enough space before and after.

3) It would be nice to have a bottomframe for the backaddress field that is not longer than then the text itself.

All the best,
Florian
