Just get a regular e-mail account on any of a hundred different e-mail services. Some popular ones are yahoo, hotmail, gmail, and Apple's own MobileMe.

If an ad has an e-mail link, just click on it. It will open up your e-mail program (which you have configured to use your new e-mail server), and you can type and send your message.

Craigs List allows you to "anonymize" any e-mail address when you place an advertisement in it. Use that feature to put advertisements up.

If you want a separate e-mail address that is free Gmail (Google), Lycos, Yahoo, Hotmail all offer free e-mail accounts that are webmail based, meaning you access your e-mail directly via a web browser, and have a separate address from your main home personal e-mail address. That way you can filter out the spam without it ever e-mailing your main address with requests from Craigs List.

Mobileme offers you e-mail, integrated web services with Apple's iApps, e-mail, and bookmarks all manageable from a single account for a single annual fee.
