Hello somethingsweet4me,

You should be using the Reply button within the ad instead of copying and pasting their email into a message from your personal email address.

When you are signed into your account on Craigslist and use the reply button to respond, an automated email will be created as your email address for the person to reply back to. Going through the copy and paste method is not directly through craigslist, thus is not disguised

Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.
