Dear Eric,

Not quite.

IF you have your email address set in your browser (under Preferences/email/identity), then ANY website can get your email address whenever you logon to it with your browser, IF you have enabled cookies.

Thus, if you don't want junk mail AND you like to surf porn sites, then I strongly suggest you disable your email address settings in your preferences. Otherwise, in no time flat you will be gettin' a ton o' junk!

Cheers,

MJS
