It's crazier than you think. http://www.usps.com/news/2001/press/pr01_015.htm Express, Priority, and First Class mail flies FedEx, and has since 2001. I's part of a larger deal which is also why you now see a FedEx drop box at every post office. I guess it's coopertition. I think I just made up a word. :) So if it's illegal for you to put a letter inside a FedEx box, what's the penalty for moving all the first class mail in a FedEx airplane. :D Oh yeah, FedEx can now deliver to APO and P.O. Boxes as well. http://fedex.com/us/smartpost/ -- Leo Bicknell - bickn...@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
