We prove the following results for a ring R. (a) If C is a class of right R-modules closed under direct summands and isomorphisms, then every right R-module has an epic C-envelope if and only if C is closed under direct products and submodules. (b) If R is left T-coherent and pure injective as a right R-module, then every T-finitely presented right R-module has a T-flat envelope, (c) Let R be a left T-coherent ring and injective right R-modules be T-flat. If every finitely presented left R-module has a flat envelope, then every T-finitely presented right R-module has a projective cover.
