What's my personal auto-publishing address?
Each user has a unique email address used to publish Moments. To view and customize your personal auto-publishing address, go to the User Settings page. Click Edit Account to go to your Profile page then select User Settings.
Your personal auto-publishing address lets you post Moments safely using your username and a unique verification code. For example, to post a Moment to So DFW, user JGreenPark will send a Moment to the personal auto-publishing address JGreenPark.x9951@submit.nbcdfw.com.
Will Moments I post via email show in my profile?
Yes. Emailed-in Moments will display your username and will show in your public profile.
