Knock yourself out! :-) Here's his email address:
benedictxvi@vatican.va
No mention yet of how many emails he's received since the address went out (two days ago, I think), but I can imagine it's quite a bit! :-)
hmmm . . . now we just need to wait for Pope Benedict's blog! :-)
***EDIT***

60,000 Send E-mails to Benedict XVI
VATICAN CITY, APRIL 22, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Of the 60,000 messages that Benedict XVI has received in less than 48 hours, more than half -- 31,000 -- were written in English. The next biggest language group were in Italian (13,000) and Spanish (6,000). The messages, sent to benedictxvi@vatican.va and other similar addresses, were also written in German, Portuguese and French. Striking among the messages are some from nonbelievers who request prayers. Others are from Catholics who assure their prayers and thank the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger for having accepted the mission to be Pope. There are also messages from young people, who wish him "all the best."
Blessings & Peace,
Hugo

Matt: lol! :-) Prob more spam thanks to posts like mine where web crawlers can harvets email addresses . . . though I doubt the Pope needs herbal viagra at the moment ;-)
KC: I knew all that darn Christian spam was coming from somewhere :-)

Thanks for the update. Do you think the large number of English emails is indicative of anything other than electronic affluence?
I remember reading that the level of connectivity here in the US far outstrips every other part of the world, so . . . Prob not :-)
Blessings & Peace,

Hmmm . . . unless we've got a lot of liberal US Catholics getting mad at him for making Pope! :-)
I too have heard of this one you call Hugo. A man whose wisdom once filled all blogdom. Is it possible he was cast down by the great and terrible ISP monster?
Thanks for the praise :-) See my most current post for an explanation!
Blessings & Peace,
Hugo
