You have to be careful and read (almost) everything. My wife has, on a few occasions (that I know of), earmarked things for recycling because they looked like junk mail but weren't. In two cases, they were important information from our dental practice. I can't recall what the others were but they were directly addressed to us but perhaps badly inserted into the envelope so that the full addressee details were not visible in the envelope window.
I have OCD-like tendencies and can generally identify our regular post by the typeface or handwriting of the address, envelope style, mail carrier, return address etc. In recent times with companies merging, changing hands, using external mailing services and economising by changing from coloured headed paper and pre-printed envelopes with coloured logos to black and white, it is harder to spot what's from whom and if it is of any interest without opening it.
At least the Virgin Media mailings have the Virgin Media logo on the envelope (for now).
