I feel pretty confident tossing anything with no return address and I'm slowly catching on to meaningless markings like "Time-sensitive Material", "Please Do Not Discard", and "Please Open Immediately".



I've noticed that many, if not all, of my monthly bills come in an envelope that's clearly marked "Your Statement is Enclosed" or "Your Bill is Enclosed". I checked the USPS.gov site but couldn't find any reference to this as a requirement. Is it?



How do you determine what to open or toss without opening and tossing?

SnailMailFilterFilter: Are there any failsafe rules to separate USPS junk mail from real mail (or vice versa) without opening it? I know I needn't worry about an ink SoBig virus, but I just hate being suckered into opening an important-looking envelope only to find another Visa/MC application. [More Inside]
