Would it help to microwave your mail if you don't know where it came from and you're sure it doesn't contain an objects? i.e. it's not a CD you've ordered from Amazon. :)
No. You could bake for ~2 h at 140 C though (adding warmup time depending on volume). Or, autoclave it (2 h 120-130C).
Do anthrax spores get cooked enough by microwaves to be killed, or are they too dry in spore form to be nuked?
They're too small, too dry, and the microwave is illuminated very inhomogenously due to standing waves in the resonator.
