Preserved Letters and pasting into books

Greetings Sapience,
For all those literary obsessives out there and in preparation for a
large clean up, we've just added a new feature.
You can now PASTE letters into journal or manuscripts that you would
normally have the ability to write in.
The syntax for doing this is:
PASTE <LETTER> INTO <JOURNAL/MANUSCRIPT> [PAGE <NUMBER>]
What are the catches/benefits to doing this?
- The pasted letter is destroyed in the process and cannot be recovered.
Any contents will be left in your inventory.
- Once you have pasted a letter onto a page, you can no longer edit that
page.
- Regardless of which language the journal has been written in, the page
that the letter was pasted on will now be in the same language that the
letter was in.
- If a letter is ENCIPHERed, the page in the journal will be forever
ENCIPHERed, even if the journal itself isn't ENCIPHERed.
If your letter has been preserved at a post office, you can take it back
to a postoffice and UNPRESERVE the letter for a refund of half the
normal cost of preserving a letter. Unpreserving a letter will leave it
with 7 months of life until it decays.
Now for the clean up part.
In 7 Achaean months time, we will be going through and setting the
almost 14,000 letters in existence back to unpreserved and giving them 7
months left till they decay. At this point in time, we will also be
removing the ability to preserve letters at Post Offices. Any letters
that we set back to unpreserved at this point will not accrue any sort
of refund for the bearer.
If you encounter any bugs with this new change, please file a BUG report
with as much relevant detail as possible.
Enjoy!
