I don't want to change my registered email address but I'd prefer mners to CAT me on a different email adresss.

Is that possible? I can't figure out how I'd go about it in my registration.

Cheers!

I think M-netters don't see your email address & you can choose to reply from a different address?

Cat me & I'll reply on my hotmail account

Ahh but when you CAT someone they will reply to your main account - so that's no good

When someone cats you they don't get to see your email - it's processed via MNHQ. They only get to see it if you respond to them - so you could obviously use a different account to do that, if you wanted.

But if you cat someone... the opposite applies. They'll see the email you use to register with. I doubt there is much we can do about this, but will mention it to the team.

It actually mainly because the email I registered with is the joint/family one which is good because I check that most often. But if I'm having a personal email conversation with another mner I'd rather be able to CAT them from my personal address. IYSWIM!

Thanks for checking
