ALSO....if you write "non-machineable" in the lower left corner and add 20 cents to your regular postage, they will not put it through any equipment. For a 12" block folded evenly across a #10 envelope it is 64 cents to mail it non machinable.
I do this so often that I actually had a non machinable stamp made from vista print =)
