When purchasing, can I send a different email to vendor than I use for PayPal notifications?

I love the convenience of useing PayPal for purchases because all my address info is provided.  However, this also provides my PayPal email address to the vendor.

 

I have a special email acct for PayPal and financial relationships that is not the email I provide vendors.  If I use PayPal to make a purchase I often end up with SPAM and clutter from the vendor.

 

It would be great to associate a secondary email address for vendors.

Just an update...

PayPal is a great way to purchase online and checkout.  But because PayPal shares my "financial" email address with the vendor, about 30% to 50% of the time when I'd like to use PayPal, I'm forced to use my CC -- just so that I can control my email and the resulting spam.

 

I often end up having trouble with some vendors because they now know me by both my "financial" email and regular email.  It prevents them from associating transactions correctly.
