GMail - Reply From, an updated option

Gmail had a minor issue with its service when launched publicly. See, if you had configured your Gmail account to send outgoing emails from another email such as "email@otherdomain.com", each time you sent outgoing email from that address and someone replied back, you would expect to reply back with the same previous outgoing email and not have to do any change thereafter.

Unfortunately, that was the problem. Each time, you would have to manually change the outgoing From: field from the drop-down list of email addresses before replying. This could have caused conflict at some point or another. Wishing to have sent email from the designated outgoing email, out of quickness and not manually setting it right, you could have replied back with an email address that was not suppost to be known by that person or others at all.

Well, it seems that the Gmail team has cleared this issue out. For those that are not yet aware or have not done any changes to account settings in your GMail, an update or rather an option has been silently added by the GMail team to recognize and configure itself to change the From: field.
