Essentially, I want the headers to look like this...

To: me <me...@gmail.com> From: person who filled out form <yo...@gmail.com>

Instead, what I have is:

To: me <me...@gmail.com> From: me <me...@gmail.com> Reply-To: someone who filled out the form <yo...@gmail.com>

Hmm... the headers you should be sending, according to the RFCs at least, is something like this:

To: me <me...@gmail.com> Sender: me <me...@gmail.com> From: someone who filled out the form <yo...@gmail.com>

Assuming the message is generated based on the contents of the form that the user filled out, then the author of the message is that user, and so it's his address that should be given in the From header. On the other hand, it's your program that's responsible for actually sending the message, so the Sender header should be set to your e-mail address.

You might want to try sending e-mail with those headers, and if Google doesn't let you, then you can complain that they're not following RFC 2822.
