Could you elaborate on that? Does the "Send mail as" feature in gmail not work sometimes?

It's been a while but I believe when using the "Send mail as" feature in gmail it puts your preferred address in the from: field but keeps your gmail address in the sender: field.
That's probably fine in most cases but I was getting inconsistent results when people replied to my emails. Some were addressed to my domain and others to my gmail address.
I was also concerned that this might give me a slightly higher perceived risk in some SPAM filters.
Like I said earlier, none of this was a huge deal. It was just one of those inconsistencies that led me to routing all my mail to Google Apps.
It's a minor nuisance but switching it around and routing everything to my apps account solved that inconsistency.
