That's what I usually do upon receiving mail. Wonder who might have sent it.
In fact, I do it every time I get a rep point. I look at the thread, and then try to decide who could have written what about it in the comments before I actually read it.
On this note, I assign organisations (usually charities or communities of some sort) that send you random cards and stickers for membership. I get real mail every once in a half a year, so I'm always excited if I get anything, and usually that's just yet another card saying nothing in particular from some long-forgotten community camp thingy.
Also, I assign just barely umbrella-worthy rain and wind that nearly breaks the said umbrella. And the whole fact of rain in mid-December. There's a reasons all Christmas songs have the word "snow" in them!
