Re: the latest re.Postal irradiation

<<While some seed companies have already switched to alternate shipping
companies, U.S. Postal Service suggests using another carrier to mail
seeds
or other plant materials. It issued a warning against the effects of
irradiation on seeds, cuttings, plants and bacterial growth. USPS will
irradiate packages, letters, flats, express and priority mail with
stamps.
It will not irradiate USPS Express mail with meter strips or corporate
accounts; priority mail with meter strips or permit indicia; all
registered
mail and bulk quantity mail. http://www.amseed.com/govt.asp">>

===>First of all, my apologies if this posting comes through on your end in both html and plaintext versions. I didn't know that was happening and it's a function of software incompatability, rather than bad settings. Chris helped me a few nights ago and I think I finally have a method to avoid the double text--this message will tell.

Regarding irradiation of the mail. If you will check the URL given in the posting, you'll discover that the irradiation applies only to mail destined for the 202-205 ZIP code area--Washington, DC I assume.  The USPS is not irradiating all mail in the U.S.--there is neither time, money, nor machines enough to do this.
