I think if I were sending mail, I'd address it to Ms. Jane Doe, Ph.D., rather than Dr. Jane Doe.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, that looks weird to me. I mean, if I didn't know there was a degree involved, obviously the prefix would be different, but if I knew they had a doctorate, and it was a formal letter, as opposed to a letter to an aquaintance, I'd use Dr as opposed to the suffix. My mom called all her doctorated instructors in education Dr. Whatever. Maybe my bias comes from my family, I don't know.
I do know I get referred to as Dr. Lastname several times a year. I'm not.

My understanding is the PhDs are not called Dr. socially, but only professionally. But in general, if you're not sure, I feel over-honorific-ing is better than under. I mean, if you call someone Dr. Soandso and he says "Oh, call me Jack," you win, whereas if you call someone Jack and he says, "Ahem, it's Dr. Soandso," you lose.
In other back to school news, mr, flea has been assigned a TAship for this fall. He found out about it today. Classes started yesterday. Plus, he so didn't need to have to go to Raleigh 3 afternoons a week and do the damned grading while trying to take care of our kid and finish his damned PhD. I kind of hate his damned advisor.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
At my semi Catholic college, the question we always had was-- is it Sister Nun McNunnerson, PhD or Dr. Nun McNunnerson, SSJ. We usually went with the latter in righting, but called them Sister Nun in practice. Except Marian Hocter, who we called Sister Doctor Hocter.
