"Open Your Own Damn Mail"

[Jose Rodriguez & Sally Everson]

No -- for personal/confidential --usually the secretary just doesn't deal
with it --
unless it's an obvious solicitation -- at least in the private companies I
worked for.
I never saw any executive touch any unopened or "unprocessed" piece of
paper.
The government might have a more formal protocol.
