As per subject, I would like to have an option to reply to "[ProZ.com mail]" without necessarily having to disclose my personal email address, but rather through ProZ (e.g. "[email protected]").

This would be useful (to me, at least) when I wish to decline an offer specifically directed at me, explaining why I am not willing to work on a specific project/for a specific outsourcer, without letting them have my email address (mainly in order to minimize spam/scam, etc.).

In the end, this is something ProZ is already doing (i.e. allow users to send emails to our addresses without disclosing them) and it would be particularly useful when 'the author is not a registered ProZ.com user or was not logged in when sending this message' (which means you can't even use the built-in ProZ messaging system, which is not ideal anyway). ▲ Collapse

Agree with you... Dec 22, 2017

Yes, me too. I'd like to have this option. Several times, I wished to have this vital option mainly for the same reasons as detailed by Mirko.
