I think google is doing this in order to mess with the heads of those using anything other than gmail to read their accounts. For now, the best way around that likely will be to have all gmail forwarded to an account off of google and use that account to reply to any gmail that arrives. When google makes forwarding email from gmail impossible, it will be time to disable gmail accounts and no longer use google for email.
