Well, yes...  with one caveat:  If you want something to be reasonably
private, you probably wouldn't staple it shut and hand it to a stranger,
who would give it to somebody in another company, etc...  You go and put
it on somebody's chair directly because you know the people around you
are reasonably trustworthy.  (I hope!)

You trust the USPS because they have earned it.  Even so, you don't put
anything really important on a postcard.  Right now the
forwarding of E-mail across the country is on a bunch of people that
you don't even know, much less trust.
