 Envelope and Letter Folding: Introduction
In spite of that, hand folding letters and envelopes is one of those rare intersections of decoration and practicality, where paper folding produces the satisfaction of making something useful and novel.
The folds can be extremely clever in their attempts to reach a number of basic goals: to make the largest possible envelope from a given piece of paper, to latch or remain sealed with out need of adhesive, to meet postal requirements and to be attractive.
One of the "Holy Grails" of envelope and letter folding is to create a fold which not only latches, but can't be unfolded--sealing it shut like a glued envelope.

 May I have the envelope please? - Part I, 01/13/99   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
After all, you don't care what the Envelope To address is, since the message ended up in your mailbox, so it must have been addressed to you.
And you generally don't care what the Envelope From address is, since the address to send replies to is in the letter somewhere a second time.
For example, it is common practice for the Envelope From part of the message to be copied into the message by the last mail system that touched it and placed in an SMTP header called "Return-path." But this is not required and is certainly not universally available.

 LINGUIST List 5.40: Pushing The Envelope   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)

In its original aviation context, then, "pushing the envelope" presumably meant pushing a plane in test flight up to and even beyond its known endurance limits in order to find out its exact capabilities.
Paul Kershaw makes an interesting observation: his sense is that the idiom retains a slightly negative connotation of "going beyond what is considered safe" (perhaps as in, "hot dog" pilots risking life, limb and expensive equipment to show off...).
