Setting Up Windows Email to Reply to Craigslist Ads

You're supposed to be able to click on the email link in a Craigslist ad to reply to the ad. The email will automatically contain the link to the ad you're replying to.

How can I set up my email account to do this? Because my "windows email" is not configured with my "pop" email account (yahoo), I can't reply to an ad on Craigslist just by clicking on the email address. Instead, I have to copy the email address, then open my yahoo email account, and compose a new email by pasting the email address in it. If I want the link to the ad in the email, I then have to go back to the ad, copy the web address and paste it into the yahoo email I'm composing. If I want the title of the ad in the subject line, I then have to copy and paste it. If I could just reply to the Craigslist ad, all these steps would automatically be done for me.

When I do all this, naturally the email comes from my yahoo account, not Craigslist's account, so I'm fearing a lot of my replies are being filtered out as spam naturally since it's a yahoo account.

I don't want to have all my yahoo emails downloaded into Outlook Express or something. I just want to easily reply to the CL ads. What do I need to do to make it happen?

I use Yahoo email and Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
