Just curious...can your yahoo email contacts see your yahoo answers posts?

[Miss April]

I really don't have anything to hide, I just like to know a little more about the internet world I know that your fans on yahoo answers can see them, but is email completely different than your yahoo answers account? When I post answers and questions, I normally don't pay attention to "share as an update to..." at the bottom of the screen. I do notice that facebook and twitter are never checked, but the box for yahoo always is. Does that mean your email contacts see what you post or what?
I heard sometimes if your posts are shared as yahoo updates, it can be viewed on your profile (regular yahoo, not yahoo answers), but what if you click on your profile and it says it isn't activated? Does that mean your mail contacts don't see your posts?

Possibly your email contacts could see your Answers posts if they are also your Y! Messenger contacts or Facebook or Twitter friends or followers, but not unless you have changed your settings.

The only time your Q&A from Answers are shared by Yahoo! outside of Answers is when you have opted to share updates. These updates are set on your Y! Profile page and they appear on Messenger to your contacts there and also to Facebook and Twitter if you have linked the accounts.

They will see your questions as they will be posted to them
They have to go to your page to look through the questions you answered, or those who bump into you in the sections.
