My fellow Australians, can anyone tell me why I've suddenly started?

to receive emails from other YA users (usually rude ones), when I thought my privacy settings didn't allow emails? How do other people adjust their privacy settings? Following the automated links from YA on these emails doesn't seem to work.

    It is to do with the change of format on the US portal. Even though your email is not open on the Australian portal, it appears to be open slather on the US one. I have just sent you an email from there (not a rude one!). Scan the questions in the Yahoo Products / Yahoo Answers category, or ask there how to turn emails off in the new format. Good luck.
