There's a very annoying bug in the mobile Gmail. You can find it in the mobile Gmail site for smartphones, the Gmail app for iOS and the iGoogle gadget for Gmail (all of them are actually the same app).
If you've added multiple sending email addresses to your account and you receive messages forwarded from other accounts, Gmail automatically picks the right "from" email addresses when you send a reply. The trouble is that the mobile Gmail web app reverts to the main "from" address after 1 minute or so. You start typing your messages and the "from" address changes. Even if you change it back, it will revert to the main address after another minute. This also happens when you compose a new message, not just when you send a reply.
Until Google fixes this issue, it's a good idea to check the "from" field before sending a message from a secondary address. After you change it, you have about 60 seconds until it reverts to the main address, so send the message quickly.
