    From FP to Approval!

    No Title I don\'t think they differentiate the mails before they open them. After they open them, they may or may not enter them into the system. (since someone mentioned that II can trace the mailing by last name, it seems that they actually enter the Info into the system. Maybe not 100%). And...
