Secondly, I am concerned about the damaged envelopes which some of you are getting. In order to minimise costs, I buy these envelopes in bulk, and it takes about 7 issues to use the quantity. It may be that the self sealing adhesive dries out during this period as I have noticed that occasionally I get one which will not seal at all - I use additional sellotape in these circumstances. I shall watch for this problem and maybe have to use sellotape on ALL of them just to make sure. The flap may become stuck in the Post Office machinery which could be causing the damage although some have commented that the envelope is slit open across the sealed flap (and not that the flap is missing altogether.) Please keep me informed of this problem over the next few issues - whether yours is damaged OR NOT (to get some idea of balance) - it may be worth asking the PO to investigate.
My copy was torn down the length of the envelope, rather than on the edhesive end as you described. Not a clean cut, more like someone had ripped it open with their finger. It's not the first time it's happened, but we're used to packets arriving like this in the post around our way so wasn't particularly concerned. I still have the envelope if you'd like to see it.
Rest assured that each envelope leaves here in good condition and the labelling has recently been changed to enable better printing on the Desk Jet rather than the old Dot Matrix which is coming towards the end of its useful life - don't we all!?!?
Yes, the label printing is much better quality -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
