It's not legal anymore but that doesn't mean you'll get caught

You're an idiot if you don't think the USPS doesn't has the capability to figure out who's doing it if they care.

Source on the legality change? I’ve never heard about a law that would apply to this.

So I have been unable to quickly confirm this on the post office directly, but the commonly cited rule online is quoted as 917.243(b).

If we can believe the multiple sources and the rule hasn't been changed, I recalled it a little incorrectly. Using such a letter as a label is legal but if they deem it an improper usage, like directly mailing a brick with the letter taped to it, they reserve the right to just dispose of it. No trouble for the sender though, so it can't hurt.
