State abberviation used in emails instead of name

Is it possible for the emails that are generated after an order is made to use the states Code 3 letters instead of the states name? I would think this would be a simple query addition when generating the emails? When we enter the customers information in something like stamps.com or UPS we have to always try to remember the abbreviation for the state and this can be time consuming to look up. Also, in the US, mail typically does not use the full state name, the normal format is the 2 letter abbreviation (Code 3 letters).

You can edit the states via the menu System->Zones and change the name of the states to their two letters code if you want to do that.
That's what will display on the state dropdown too then.
