...still interested in a OTRS way to rewrite the From: in forwarded email

OTRS can't perform miracles. When you forward a message, you're creating a 
completely new message and new headers, and that is completely under the 
control of your mail client.  If your mail client can't resend it 
transparently, your only options are to create something like a mail alias on 
your OTRS server that runs a procmail filter to strip out the headers generated 
by forwarding the message and resubmit the original message to OTRS as if it 
had come from the customer directly, or add some kind of special header that 
the OTRS postmaster filter can trap.  You then forward the message to the mail 
alias when you want this to happen, or add the magic header when you forward 
the message.

The alias idea won't work unless you have control of the incoming mail server 
(and given that you say you're using gmail's mail servers, you probably don't), 
and the gmail interface isn't conducive to adding specialized headers. Note 
that you also will need to configure your mail client to not modify the 
forwarded message in any way (eg, no indents, adding >> notations, etc.) if you 
want the stripping to work reliably.
