Yeah- I had the same problem. I found that if you reduce the stack
to about 10-12 envelopes (depending on how "airy" they are) they will
go though from the tray without problem. Not a great fix but it
(almost) beats using the manual feed.

Maybe putting a book on top of a stack of envelopes would help
flatten them and more could be placed in the tray-aaahhhh, at last
a use for "The NeXT Bible"!
