I'm teaching professional writing this semester-- Straight up. You're not even allowed to use Mrs. in a salutation if you don't know the person. Just not professional anymore. So addressing a woman by her husbands name-- yep, that's dead, buried, and really just not done. Surely they just don't realize they are doing this?
