Oops. Duh. Sorry, I read through too fast to catch that part. Oh well,
it's still instructive for other people. I didn't find out about it until
earlier in the year. It sure is a time-saver. On Mon, 2 Aug 2004, Doc Shipley wrote:

Really, though, isn't your hint exactly what I said in the quoted
paragraph? If I sell you an item, I have to find (and
usually pay for) a box
that fits it for secure shipping, packing, tape, and labelling, and if
it's shipped USPS, I also have to either weigh it here and print a label
online, or schlep it down to the PO and wait in line to have them do that.
Hint: you can buy/print USPS postage right from their website now. The
interface is a tad kludgy but it sure beats waiting in line at the post
office for 10 minutes (again, I can do a lot with 10 minutes).
