UScommercial9 + firstfooter problem

When I use the scrlttr2 UScommercial9.lco and change the papersize from A4 to US standard letter (8.5x11in) the firstfooter disappears.

Switching paper size does not reload lco-files

Pseudo variables, that depend on a lco-file are calculated while loading the lco-file. So changing page size after loading the lco-file does not change them. This is a must be, because otherwise manual changing of the pseudo lenghts after loading the lco-file would be ignored. So you should either use:

\documentclass[paper=letter,UScommercial9,pagesize,mlabel]{scrlttr2}
or
\KOMAoptions{paper=letter}
\recalctypearea
\LoadLetterOption{UScommercial}

BTW: I've used paper=letter, because it is shorter and easier to understand and to remember than paper=8.5in:11in.

BTW: If you don't post mlabeltest.tex, but a modified version of mlabeltest.tex, you should not use the intro-comment of mlabeltest.tex! I've changed it once again at your posting.

Thanks.

Thanks.
