No it does NOT make it even _slightly_ legal!  Refer to the US Post code
regulations.  In the UK it is also completely illegal.

No, you are not, you are merely following faulty advice in the hope that
you will avoid prosecution for Mail Fraud!

so that the Postal Authorities can find you easily!

  I assure you that,  again,  this is completely legal!

And I assure you, again, that it is not!

Quite, we wouldn't want the Tax people hassling us, as well as the
police, would we!

people listed.  The folding of the paper around the bill will ensure its
arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!!  (Otherwise, some
unscrupulous mail delivery person may see what's inside and start
helping himself to all the thousands of envelopes arriving!)

As about 95% of the postmen/women in the Uk are honest, (and I suspect
the figures in the USA are not dissimilar), this remark is probably
libellous.  But, of course, those with criminal tendencies tend to
believe the worst of everybody else.>
