[Dx-qsl] Return address on QSL's mailed

[Ron Notarius]

Better yet than folding the return envelope...

Use nesting envelopes.

I've been buying manila #12 envelopes from OfficeMax.  I use them to mail
the request(s) to the manager(s) -- and being manila, and somewhat opaque,
get a small extra touch of security.  (Besides, my computer-generated cards
are a touch tight in a #10, but fit in a #12 with room to spare).  My
SAE/SASE is a standard #10, which is large enough to accommodate most QSL
cards.

The box of 100 #12's usually costs within a few dimes the same as a similar
quantity of #10's, so the cost difference is basically negligible.

Don't want to get #12's?  Well, if you continue to use #10's to send, and
don't want to use the small #6's as return envelopes, check your local
stationary store or printer for #9 envelopes.  Accomplishes the same
thing... and this is what a lot of utility companies use for return bill
payments.  (Which is also why, sometimes, if you try to mail junque mail
back to the mailer in the supplied postage-paid envelope, it won't fit...
the junque is sent to you in a #10, 11, or 12 envelope, but the return one
is a #9, but I digress...)
