Dinbrief and Pagenumbers

Question

My question concern the line numbers when using the dinbrief package. I want to have page numbers like page 1 of 2 and so on. I tried also the LastPage package, but without success. The dinbrief package is quite old and seems not be maintained... but I love it.

Question: How to get managed the page numbering?

If you have any hints or optimizations, they will be appreciated.

Answer 1

The quickest solution is to \let some predefined page styles used for the class to be the defined default page style. Add the following lines

\makeatletter
\let\ps@plain\ps@default
\let\ps@first@page\ps@default
\makeatother

just after the definition of the default page style and then use

\pagestyle{plain}

instead of

\pagestyle{default}

for your document.

Also, \label{lastpage} has to be placed before \end{letter}. A complete example:
