Sorry, as in the mail post that send letters and packages and things |
I was thinking envelopes, but you've got the general idea. Since they all work.

A: A spark of inspiration? |
Good guess, very symbolic, but too symbolic...
Try again.

Not a doormat. Hmmm....
.......A Mail Box?

My Next Riddle:
I am words
not yet heard,
although one's own mind
can hear them.
My next Riddle after that:
I can send you a breeze
or a constant gust of wind,
yet it is you who may control me.

Again around the middle of the 20th century
But wont happen again for over 4000 years.
What happened?
ps: In the interests of making it a bit harder, try altering the wording of your riddle slightly so you can't simply plug it into 'Google' and get the answer
