How do I do a search for email addresses in Craigslist?

Question

someone wrote back to me but I want to look at their original ad in craigslist. I wrote to about 40 people and don't know which particular one this was. I can see how to do a search while I'm on the share rental page but that only looks for words in the heading. You have to open the ad in order to see the address. I don't want to open 2000 ads looking for an email address

Answer 1

Instead of using the entire email address, copy and paste ONLY the numerical part of the ad in the search field. For example, when you're in an ad, at the top is a blue link with the craigslist domain and at the bottom of the page is the "posting ID". The number is the same as in the email address.
