I had to check this to be sure...

It  seems  like  Google  wouldn't specify  anything  in  the
headers  (I had a quick look through yours). It's rather odd
because,  at  least in UseNet, it identifies itself  as  G2,
which stands for Google Groups, as the user-agent.

I'll  add an exception for GMail and recompile. There is  no
way to guarantee that a sender with a GMail address actually
uses  GMail.  I think I have just found a candidate  though,
e.g. in your case:

Message-ID: <891be9410608312358l49ff4e8elfe43cb840640fb99 at mail.gmail.com>

Can catch the domain with a regex.
