I suspect the reason for the lower cost is the fact that sorting isn't an issue. By the same token, if you place a note on your post box that you do not wish to receive junk mail (unaddressed mail) then I believe the postal carriers are supposed to honour that request. However, if the business has placed your address on the mail (and paid a higher rate, even if not the full first class rate) then the postal service is obliged to deliver it. At least that's how it's supposed to work in Canada... -- David P James Ottawa, Ontario http://david.jamesnet.ca There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people. -Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
