Can someone confirm if my email icon is displayed on my profile page? It's not visible if I check... is it only visible to others ?

I'd like other people to be able to contact me via email.

In my profile preferences I have placed a check-mark in : Answers Community Can contact me via email.

However, when I check on my profile page I cannot see an email icon/link.

When I look at other people's profile page, I see some that have an email icon and others that don't.

Presumably, some allow email while others don't, but why is my icon invisible?

Is it perhaps a built in website 'feature' that one cannot see his/her OWN email icon, presumably that we should not try to send ourselves an email, and the only way to see it is by being logged in from another user's account, or have I missed something?
