I'd also suggest scanning in and then printing the reply envelope on a bunch of clone envelopes, but that might be abuse/illegal/something bad.

His hope was that the recipient used an automated mail opener, and that the cheese might gum up the works. He also wore a tinfoil hat on certain occasions, and yes I have photos of this, so take this anecdote for what it is worth.

Won't cost as much as a brick, but its heavier than paper. Just make dang sure it looks like sand, and not an unidentified "white powder", or you'll be in a heap of trouble. “stuff it with newsprint”… well, sand would probably work too.

Not quite a brick, but at least half a pound of steel rolling around inside the envelope. And the post office charges by the ounce.
