Gmail removes the "on behalf of"

Most will know this already but previously if you added an external address in GMail then whenever you sent from it the from field would show for example “From: [email protected] (On behalf of [email protected]).

Seems they have removed this annoyance and now it shows it as that alt address as if you sent from it so no need to create a Google Account to MX through to your own domain or third party address any more.

Good times!

Good. That put me off using that feature in the past.
