Product Description:

Snail Mail is an envelope addressing and printing application which interacts directly with the Address Book database in Mac OS X 10.3 or higher. Its primary function is to quickly address and print single or multiple envelopes based on entries in the Mac OS X Address Book database, but it also allows ad-hoc manual entry of addresses directly onto the envelope. Batches of envelopes can be based on Address Book groups, or ad-hoc lists selections of addresses. Snail Mail can print barcodes for more efficient mail handling.

Snail Mail provides for different default text attributes (font, colour, etc) for different parts of the address.

NB: This version of Snail Mail is a "universal binary" application for Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger (PPC/Intel) and above only.

Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) users may find it more convenient to use the Address Books's built-in (but somewhat limited) envelope printing capabilities instead.

A Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) compatible version is available at: http://nixanz.com/products/snailmail/SnailMailPanther.dmg
A Mac OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar) compatible version is available at: http://nixanz.com/products/snailmail/SnailMailJaguar.dmg

What's new in this version:

  • Added preference to hide delivery country only if same as return address country (as has bee available for return address in earlier versions).
  • Added preference to swap family name and given name, to suit broader cultural user base.
  • Added option to remove return address completely with a single step (no longer a two step process of selecting "Manual" return address, then manually deleting return address content).
  • After start up, the search field has the keyboard focus, so that no pointing or clicking is required to beging typing a search term (this feature went missing several releases ago).

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9

I wonder if the Tiger 10.4 version was accidentally put out on the web for download? Prior versions of this program have been excellent.
