No, Bayesian decision theory does not allow you to reason in that way.
Suppose the amounts in the envelopes are A and B. A Bayesian would say:
Prob(I have A) = 1/2 and Prob(I have B) = 1/2
The expected gain from switching is:
Prob(I have A)x(what I'd gain from switching = B-A) + Prob(I have B)x(what I'd gain from switching = A-B)
which is: 1/2 x (B-A) + 1/2 x (A-B) = 0

Having someone else do my laundry for about a dollar a pound. No more buying detergent, waiting around, having to find change if you don't have your own washer/dryer, loading/unloading, folding, etc.
