I've found it very helpful to smooth down the left edge of the envelope,
and the left halves of the top and bottom edges, by placing the
envelope on a flat surface and running the back of a fingernail
along the edges.   This practice seems to have cut the jam-rate on the
envelopes I print (not many, I admit) from about 80% to nearly zero.
