The only way I can imagine to fix this to run a mail server somewhere 
and get re-writing going for the envelope and header addresses. So it 
doesn't complain.

My whole point of moving to GMail was so I can push away from my desk, 
shutdown my computer, and look at my wife with full attention.

So this annoyance I will have to live with. The benefit to GMail is I 
don't have my computer at home having to be on all the time because of 
running a mail server.
