   No.  If you submit it to 20 places, you'll end up paying $50 in postage   
   & stationery.  That's what it was like 15 years ago.  A lot of people   
   will submit last to anybody who won't take electronic sub.

   No, unless he's a guy near retirement who won't take anything else.

   Look on submissions page of magazine's website & give them what they   
   ask for.  A few of them say they want the document in rtf.  A few   
   little semi-pro ezines will say they want something different, like   
   italics not underlined or something like that.

   Probably the only difference is you should put email address under your   
   mailing address.
