How Do I Respond To A Prospective Buyer And Keep My Email Disguised?

I have items posted for sale on craigslist, and I have chosen to have my email disguised. When a potential buyer replies to one of my posts, it comes to my personal email account. How do I respond to their email without letting them see my personal email address?Thanks so much for your help!

The good news is that as your response will be relayed from Craigslist, it won't in the message as received display your address. The bad news is that anyone with any technical knowledge could discern your address from the source code. The only good way to meet your concern is to send your reply from another email address which you could feel okay about revealing. Gmail will let you forward incoming mail in advance to your current email address.
