Very cool toy-I hope you will post a picture or two of it.

I do not use Outlook either, but there is a not-too-hard way to send Craigslist messages if you use a Web-based e-mail site. This works in the Firefox browser, with its multi-tab feature; I do not know of it works in Internet Explorer. Here are the steps:

-Open one tab in Firefox with your e-mail logged on.
-Open another tab with Craigslist and the ad you want to answer.
-Right-click on the Craigslist e-mail address in the ad and pick "copy e-mail address". (Do not left-click on it; that is what is making Outlook appear.)
-Go to your e-mail and start a new blank message.
-Click on the "To:" box on the new message, then right-click in that box and pick "paste". The e-mail address from the Craigslist ad should appear there. Add your message title and content as desired. (I usually also copy and paste the title of the Craigslist ad as the title of my message so it is obvious later what I was sending.)

Let me know if this trick works for you.
