I've noticed that sometimes when I use Gmail's web interface to send an email, it includes the X-Originating-IP:
header, and sometimes it doesn't.
When does Gmail decide to include the X-Originating-IP
header in outgoing email and when does it not?

According to the documentation, they may include the sender IP.
I've experimented with it a bit, and I think it works like this:
X-Originating-IP
header.X-Originating-IP
header.There are a few situations I couldn't test, though. Its possible that gmail adds the
X-Originating-IP
header when an e-mail is sent using an IP address that never accessed your account before.
