Create envelope when printing an individual letter
It would be great - upon manually entering a donation or acknowledging a donation to add a print option for the envelope as well - not just the Thank you/Acknowledgement letter.
I just reached out to Support about this yesterday. It makes me want to avoid the new option to create a letter within the donation, but that's the only way to edit the individual letter, so it's unavoidable sometimes.
Thank you all for your comments! We continue to consolidate requests for Letter enhancements, including this one. We will watch the Votes to help identify prioritization.
This response is telling me to do the thing that is the whole reason I wrote a feature request (I don't know if this one was mine or there's another floating around)
Right now the only way to create an envelope is to go through communications>letters and run a batch. However, when putting in donations there is an option to generate your thank you letter from the input screen (assign letter>generate on save). I will often do this if a donor has made a donation to a rare fund, or I know I'll have to heavily customize the letter. However, there is no way to then generate an envelope through Bloomerang. By using one of the features included in Bloomerang you lose the ability to easily get an envelope.
Furthermore, Bloomerang only saves the 5 most recent mailings in its "recent mailings" list. If I have to send multiple different kinds of letters in one day and I forget to download the envelopes of an earlier letter run, there is no way to generate the envelope but I can always go and reprint the letter.
Yes—a "download envelope" button like is available on the communications>letters filter. Even better... print directly from BL instead of having to download each of those? Thanks!

Yes, please. This would be incredibly helpful!
