The Thank You note typically goes into the applicant’s file. Ask yourself: Would you rather have a lovely handwritten note or a printed electronic message in your file?

When we were applying to BS, we used very plain ecru notecards and envelopes. The fun part (for the kids) was going down to the Post Office to choose special stamps. Handwritten notes show care and are always (without question) well-received. An electronic message that took under a minute to write and send (regardless of the AO’s chosen method of communication) doesn’t show a great deal of care… not in my book anyway.
