Send email with different from-header email?

Is there anyway to change the from-header of email. I use gmail and I change the "reply to" email but the from-header still show my real email if people want to look. What is a way to change this data to hide away the real email address?





Thanks

Send email with different from-header email?
For either security reasons or marketing reasons, I don't think that it's possible to completely hide your Gmail address.





Here are the directions from the gmail site for setting up a different from address, note that your gmail account will always be in the header:





If you'd like your outgoing Gmail messages to display another one of your email addresses in the 'From:' field (instead of your Gmail address), just follow these easy steps:


Log in to your Gmail account.


Click Settings along the top of any page, and then select the Accounts tab.


Click Add another email address in the Send mail as section.


Enter your full name in the Name field, and the email address you'd like to send messages from in the Email address field.


*Keep in mind that each time someone replies to a message you send using a custom 'From:' address, the reply will be delivered to the 'From:' address rather than your Gmail address. If you'd like replies to be delivered to another account, you'll need to enter a 'reply-to' address. Just click Specify a different reply-to address to enter this information.








Click Next Step %26gt;%26gt; and then click Send Verification to complete the process. Gmail will send a verification message to your other email address to confirm that you'd like to add it to your Gmail account. You'll need to click the link in that message, or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts section of your Gmail account, to complete the process. Once you've verified that you'd like to add the address to your account, you can start sending messages using your custom 'From:' address.


Note: your Gmail address will still be included in your email headers in the sender field, to help prevent your mail from being marked as spam. Most email clients do not display the sender field, though some versions of Microsoft Outlook may display "From customaddress@domain.com on behalf of yourusername@gmail.com."
