As far as I know, the Florida letter has never been found and thus we don't know the postmark. If you go back to some very early threads, before the Daschle letter,
there was a mention of (I believe) a St. Petersburg postmark.
This fact, of course, no longer is mentioned in the press,
nor is mention made of the Terrorists' interest in crop dusters.
Part of the FBI-Media disinformation campaign, perhaps?

Here's a
link to an article on the St. Petersburg letter (scroll towards the bottom of the article). The letter is probably a bogus copycat letter, unrelated to the real anthrax attack. It contained a white powder that tested negative for anthrax.
The letter said:
"Howard Toxler ... 1st case of disease now blow away this dust so you see how the real thing flys. Oklahoma-Ryder Truck! Skyway bridge-18 wheels."
This note, which misspells Troxler's name even though it's spelled correctly on the envelope, appears to be a threat of anthrax and also a truck bomb on the St. Petersburg Skyway Bridge, but it seems to be a fake.
Here's a photograph of the envelope:
