'reply To' Button Doesn't Work

Now that you only get the "reply to" button to click on, I cannot copy and paste the email into any of my email accounts and the button doesn't do anything when I click on it (just loads a blank page - or rather attempts to load a popup, but never resolves). This is very frustrating and I do not know how to make it work or get around this issue, so if anyone could help that would be wonderful. Thank you!

The reply button won't work unless the advertiser has chosen to use Craigslist's anonymizing function. Otherwise you must depend on contact information in the post, if it exists.

Thanks for the reply Odin, however I finally diagnosed the problem... it was the VPN software that I was using. Once I disabled the VPN-proxy things began to work fine. The VPN use to work for Craigslist, must be a buggy update... because, again, it's system wide (firefox, chrome, IE).
