I give up on worrying about such things when I see some of the
stoooopid things hiring managers do to winnow the stacks.  The latest
one to get my goat is an article I saw in the paper where the manager
said she wants HR to always give her the envelopes the resume came in,
to check if the applicant used a postal meter to put postage on it. 
If so, resume roundfiled, the assumption being the person used current
employment resources to find a new job.

@[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*#$!  Maybe the person was using a job-finding resource after
they were laid off!  Or maybe they have their own meter (Pitney-Bowes
does rent them to consumers, under $20/month, postage downloadable). 
My nephew the corporate lawyer sent out over 1000 resumes his last
time through the wringer, and I guarantee you he knows about
appearances and detail.  I think he got 6 responses, of which half
were reasonable.
