Unfortunately, it appears that the "send email to the North Pole" part
of the mail I am replying to is false.  I did see a "use your Web
browser to the North Pole to get donations" and checked it out
earlier, and that seemed to be true.  In the home page at
http://north.pole.org we find the following:


                     [IMAGE] WELCOME TO THE NORTH POLE!!
                                       
               HOME OF GOOD CHEER (AND GRACIOUS ELVES!)

Please Don't Spam Santa

   
   
   There is a rumor going around that we're trying to get as many
   messages as possible sent to santa@north.pole.org. Not true ... Santa
   has all the mail he can handle and asks that you refrain from spamming
   him or there might be a few last-minute transfers to the "naughty"
   list.

The "Cyberspace Christmas" describes how visiting the appropriate

send email - use the Web instead :-)
