Subject: [PATCH] feat: add the notation zone to the Form B letter
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two lines above the address (DIN's Zusatz- und Vermerkzone, filled
bottom-up) share their rows with the top of the info block, which now
starts at the norm's 50mm; the lower line carries a notation
placeholder (e.g. registered mail). Measured headlessly: info block
at 50.0mm, notation 54.8mm, address zone from 59.7mm ending 79mm —
inside the window.
