I've noticed after first signing up around April that whatever scanner they're using can see through the envelope and you can pretty clearly read at least part of the contents for a standard folded letter, but at some point later in the year the contrast of the images was changed and it wasn't as common to see it anymore. Most of my mail is junk, but I can only imagine the kinds of opportunity that capability at scale presents.
- sp00ls 8y agoI noticed the same thing with the see through envelope part. I live in an apartment and get mail in my informed delivery dashboard addressed to past tenants at this address all the time. The system seems to only care about address, not name. The mail never arrives (possibly due to forwarding?) but I can read the first page of about half of it. It does seem to have gotten slightly better but I just checked my last few emails from USPS and I can still make out words through the envelope. I'm sure with a small bit of image manipulation I would be able to read them clear as day.
