Hi Rasmus and Alan,

I've changed the code so the value for foldmarks is passed through to
KOMA-Script. It's a bit ugly insofar as one has to specify
foldmarks:true to use the default values instead of other options, such
as backaddress:t. However, subject also uses a string already.

See the attached patch.

Cheers,
Viktor
