Quick Overview

Poste is an application/service that prints envelopes.  It can be used to print multiple envelopes from a record file, or quickly produce a formatted envelope from another application. Poste is free.

Expert Section

Install Poste by placing it in the /LocalApps or ~/Apps directory.  Logout/Login to enable the new Service.  The "Envelope" service places the selected text into an envelope recipient field, and formats an envelope from the previously saved template settings.  An envelope template stores field positions, field font and size, envelope size, sender and message field text, and an image path.  Poste can browse and print standard text-data records.

Reposition fields by Alternate-dragging them to new locations.  An image can be added using drag and drop from the Workspace Manager.

Tab-delimitted address records should have the following format:

  <name>\t<street>\t<city/state/zip>\n
  
  where 
  '\t'  == tab
  '\n'  == return
  
The number of column entries may vary between records.  Each record must terminate with a carraige return.  The number of records is limitted by available disk/device space (which if exceeded using this program should be reason to inspect your sanity).
