I threw out my admissions envelop because it wasn't some thick envelope or specially marked or anything. At that time, I was getting like ten letters/flyers/postcards every day from schools asking me to apply, and they all went straight in the trash.
I think my masters was done via e-mail, but I don't really remember. I went somewhere fairly non-selective, though, so there was no suspense.
For my doctorate, I was offered a fellowship from the graduate college that arrived (via e-mail) before the acceptance from my department (via snail mail).
Maybe I'll have to apply for a fourth degree so I can get an envelope :-)
