Hi Don,

I'm a piker compared to your efforts. Thanks for the link.

A question for you: do you fold your mailings, and if so, how do you accomplish the folding? We bought a Martin folding machine, which worked very well for a few years, but wear on the feed roller and other problems made it unusable.

Would like to get out of hand folding if possible. But I cheat on that. I include a horizontal line, a half inch from the page edge, and about 0.3 inches long, and located at the top fold point on the page. Unless I point it out to folks, no one can see it. I just bring the bottom edge up to the line and crease. Perfect fold every time.

PS: the pirates kind of died in the second half - boo.

Hi Rich! The new USPS bar code is the "intelligent" bar code and you can find more about it here: <https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intelligentmail>https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intelligentmail

It is not mandatory, the old bar code system still works and is accepted by the USPS. I would think that in your case the University was post-processing the outgoing mail and in that case your old bar code would throw the reading equipment off.

Just approaching the final days of an election cycle here in Pennsylvania - I've probably been responsible for mailing about a quarter of million pieces of mail in the last few weeks so I have be conversant with this stuff.
