I do a fair bit of interviewing and hiring upper level staff (MS/PhD) and I respond more favorably to an email. Who has time to actually open an envelope and read cursive? If you email, give it some time...give the impression that you actually gave the interview a little thought. I have received emails sent via smart phone less than 5 minutes after leaving the interview!

I too look down on the handwritten thing. Sure, it's cute and all, but it's honestly done way after the fact. A well-worded follow up email that reiterates your interest in the job is way better than a letter that I may or may not get days after we met.

I did some interviews here at my company this week, and my mind was made up 5 minutes into the meeting. A handwritten note surely won't sway me, because for me the ship has already sailed. An email, though, could seal the deal if there are 2+ solid candidates.
