Just a reminder to those running auctions:

There is a Postal increase that takes effect 10 January 1999.

Certified mail fees, Registered Mail, Insurance Fees, and return receipt
fees have also gone up.  I do not see anything on International Mail,
but suspect that the special fees have also gone up.

People running auctions that are ending this week might want to consider
doing as much mailing as possible on or before Saturday.

There also seems to be a new type of Return Receipt.  This one is marked
"Return Receipt for Merchandise".  Anyone know anything about this one?
It costs more than a normal "Return Receipt", so I don't know what
additional value or service is involved.
