I don't know what is considered proper etiquette today, but it used to be in the case of a divorced woman(Mrs. Smith) whose maiden name was Thomas, the correct way would be for her to sign as Mrs. Mary Smith Thomas. Or, if you were named Mary Smith Thomas at birth, you can certainly sign your name that way, or simply as Mary S. Thomas. Really, though, all you have to do to start is give one your name as YOU want it to be shown.

What is the proper way to address a letter if the husband and wife have different last names?

I am fairly certain that you would address the letter by listing the names alphabetically on separate lines on the envelope, and then follow with the address. Example: Mr. John Jones Mrs. Jane Smith 200 Nowhere Lane Anyplace, State 00000-0000 It is handled differently if one of the individuals has a title (such as a doctor)...but, I can't remember the rule for that one.
