Get Religion

A great source for tracking media accounts of religious issues is http://www.getreligion.org/. A recent post on Papal-Muslim "dialog" includes this handy bit of info:

Also, Binky notes that the pope’s email address, should you want to write him a note about all of this, is benedictxvi (at) vatican.va — so there.

I wonder what happens to all that e-mail. Have any of you ever done it? Is it a canned reply, like from the White House? Maybe an indulgence is included as an attachment with the reply.
