Theoretically that's possible, but remember, spores are "leaking" out from a cache of powder, of billions of spores, and other envelopes pressing on them, and/or a machine really pressing on them. Now if some spores land on mailbag insides, it's a much lower amount, and it seems less likely to me that they'll get pressed into a passing jostled envelope, stay inside the envelops, and then become airborne to contaminate. I somehow don't think that's the way it happened. But someone who undrestands the physics of air could probably figure it out.
