[QUOTE="Bill Dilks, post: 204268, member: 3950"] LKP - I never knew that. Excellent info, thanks. Sarah - the other blue/white used is the document cover, which is what I was thinking of while reading your opening post. That indicates that's it's beyond just a plain ol' piece of paper. I've received some over the years with a blue cover on it. It's legitimate. Why? To make it stand out perhaps, and/or to lend an air of importance to the contents.
