we have the mail that we mailed
the mail that we mailed and then got back
the mail that we never mailed
and here is a new category
the mail that has a note on the back that says there is a note inside that may not be worth the trouble of opening
and then...i did not go to the trouble of opening it....i was surprised to see that i left it unopened. i always thought it was very far fetched that tom hanks did not open that one fedex box when he was stranded on the island. i was sure that nobody would do that. and now, i see that i have done it. although i did not really think about doing it. or did i? i don't recall.
but, now that it is unopened and the postmark seems to be 2002, i can see how easy it is to not open it. i have to make two sub categories under the mail that was never sent. no three.
unsent mail - unfinished
unsent mail - unopened
unsent mail - finished, sealed and later opened
sent mail
sent mail - retrieved
sent mail - retrieved and resent
that is six categories
seven - blog mail - mail (with fake addresses) that is never going anywhere except up on the blog (or to people who are getting a whole shower of envelopes, but i do not feel like writing out a long address so all of those people live at 420 east ohio, ames, iowa, 50010 or 50014
eight - sent mail - marked open, but unopened.
nine - sent mail, opened, altered, resent
