Force Outlook to use correct "From" and "Subject" w/PHP???

Recently I was required by my company to start using Outlook for email. I would prefer to keep using Gmail (too many reason to mention why here), but the only redirecting that's available puts a "FW" in front of the subject and (even worse) the "From" has MY email instead of the original sender!

I could write something to capture the emails at an interim address, process them to put the original sender in the "From" header and restore the original "Subject" header then shuffle them along to my Gmail account. Seems like I'd need to create a cron job for this, but it would be worth it to me not to have to use Outlook Web Access. 

Has anyone written a PHP script/cron job to Force Outlook forwarding to use original "From" and "Subject" headers? Anyone have ideas on how to get started with something like this?

Thanks!

See if that option is in your Gmail account. Some accounts have it, some don't. Mine doesn't.

Whenever messing with anything POP, remeber that most mail clients save the email locally and delete it on the server.
argh! exactly what i need, but not available on my account either... i think i'll have a go at writing a script to do it. i'm going to start here (http://www.phpit.net/article/read-email-php-pop3/) unless anyone has a better idea.

cheers!
