Well, no wonder. You added a \vspace at the beginning of the address field. Since the first line is taken as the "toname" value, as you correctly guessed, the "toname" is the \vspace. Thus you do not get a real name in the heading, but a \vspace instead, which puts the header down. Instead of inserting such things in the letter, _always_ use KOMA's length values. In this case, something like % vertical position of the address field [EMAIL PROTECTED] in preamble should do. > Reading Chapter 4 in the KOMA-Script manual (on scrpage2), I see no way > of specifying space at the top of the page for the header.

Either use the document options "3headlines,headinclude" or specify the margins in Document->Settings->Margins, where you can adjust the head height (however, you will probably have to adjust all your margins then, since the geometry package has different default margins than KOMA). I'll return the example file to you in PM. Jürgen
