My email address is showing up even though "Make my email public:" is unmarked.

That is because you used your email address for the user name.

You can post a "Want to change my user name" request in the contributors forum if you want to change the user name.

Add [ATTN Admin] in front of the subject title to get the attention of a forum Administrator.

Thanks for the help with the User Name. I did know the email was not from Mozilla. Only posted it so others would be wary. Not sure that always helps. Thanks again.
