Snailmail:

• updated the settings screenshot to 18.0
• removed the sentence on how to use snailmail by default for sending invoices (it changed in 18.0 and is now explained in Customer Invoices)
• Added a link to the Invoice Sending section of Customer Invoices in 'See Also'.

Customer Invoices:

• changed 'Print & Send' to just 'Send'.

We can delete this screenshot as it doesn't add any value, but it did bring up an interesting point regarding the font. Your screenshot looked strange to me, and when I compared it with one that I took, I noticed the two use different fonts. I'm guessing this might be because you use Brave and I'm using Chrome? I spoke to Xavier and we decided that either way is fine as long as an entire page is consistent, so just keep that in mind when you're updating screenshots in the future :)

Let's add a tip to mention setting a preferred invoice sending method per customer on their contact record.

Suggested change

	To make it a by-default feature, select :guilabel:`Send by Post` in the :guilabel:`Default Sending
	Options` section.
	.. tip::
	Set a preferred :ref:`invoice sending <accounting/invoice/sending>` method in the
	:guilabel:`Accounting` tab of a contact to use it by default.

	:alt: Under settings enable the snailmail feature in Odoo Accounting

Suggestion for some changes in the important block:

Your document must respect the following rules to pass the validation before being sent:

• Margins must be 5 mm on all sides. As Odoo forces the outer margins by filling them with
  white before sending the snailmail, it can results in the user's customizations being cut off
  if it protrudes into the margins. To check the margins, activate the :ref:developer mode <developer-mode>, go to :menuselection:Settings --> Technical --> Paper Format.
• A square of 15mm by 15mm on the bottom left corner must remain clear.
• The postage area must remain clear (:download:download the snailmail PDF template <snailmail/snailmail-template.pdf> for more details).
• Pingen (Odoo's Snailmail service provider) scans the address area to process the address, so
  if anything is written outside the address area, it is not counted as part of the address.

Also, the PDF that is linked says it uses "Paper Type: Normal" which seems vague. Does that mean A4? But in the US they use "US Letter" instead of A4 - does that matter? Or maybe it's just about the weight of the paper and not the dimensions? See if you can figure out what's important there and let me know if you aren't able to :)

Fix the menu selection on the lines above - menu selections should only include Application --> Menu header --> Menu item. Then instruct the user to scroll down to the :guilabel:Customer Invoices section.
