When downloading letters from the All client mail service in bulk using the ‘Export to zip’ function the ‘mail type’ code is included in the file path. The list linked below provides all the current mail type codes and the title of each letter item to assist with identifying what each letter is about.
This reference list only contains letters that publish electronically as these are the only ones available in myIR (or in the Document service). There is still a small volume of letters that will always print as paper for various reasons.
In general, letters from our new system are formatted as 2 letters followed by 4 numbers.
