I wonder if you have any idea how offensive "You could always try 'Dear Sir
or Madam'" could be to anyone reading this list or the archives who happens
to be Transgendered?

The case of A v the Chief Constable of the West Yorkshire Police and the
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions may be of interest, although it
relates to the definition of the gender for the purposes of employment. The
case also gets rather messy due to the matter of intimate body searches (as
it would!).
