I still don't understand why Outlook wouldn't reply to the address specified in the "Reply To" header?
Isn't that why that header/instruction exists?
Thanks for the clarification that this is a gmail-generated problem

It is not really a GMail-generated problem -- there are, in fact, a number of good reasons for including the Sender: header.
There are, however, no reasons for misrepresenting Sender: as From:

When I first got an Aircard I didnt realize that email replies from a person that received the forwarded email went down a black hole. Level 2 tech support at Sprint could not figure out why that on behalf of stuff was going on or how to stop it. I gave in and created a POP 3 account in Outlook to handle this.

gmail now has a way to Send mail from another address without "on behalf of".
In some casual testing by me it works with earthlink but not godaddy or namezero. It gets a message:
Your other email provider is responding too slowly. Please try again later, or contact the administrator of your other domain for further information.
Instead of using Gmail's servers to send the message, we'll use the servers where your other email address lives. Since Gmail isn't the originating domain, we don't have to include "Sender" info in the header. No more "on behalf of."
