Once, a Stamp on the Envelope Was Enough In the old analog world, we sent physical letters for more than 100 years based on a stamp with a value indicating the letter's weight, size, and the physical distance the letter had to travel to reach the recipient. At the post office, the stamp was marked with a postmark approving that the postage was correct, and the letter could be sent. If not, it would be returned or given penalty postage. Enough about that trip down memory lane. Today, we send billions of emails daily, of all kinds and with varying content.
