No, I meant for shippers, the report seems to suggest that seeds ( specifically mango ) can have a longer viability if just placed in plastic bags, with some fungicide. and I was just asking the pros here if this would have helped in your scenario , if the shipper/seller would have done this with your seeds.
as far as your seeds go, only way to see if they are any good is to plant them, I feel like the others in that I do not think storing seeds in plain water for weeks is a good idea. but you might get lucky with some.
