spoofing

I am wondering if it is possible to change the From: field (not just the reply-to) in Outlook (specifically in the 2010 beta, but also interested in other versions).

I am just moving over from Linux and am used to being able to do this quite simply in some clients.

At first I thought it was the option of "Other E-Mail address" on the From drop down menu in a compose window, but that seems to do... nothing!

I want to be able to do this so I can have email look like it comes from a domain I own but do not wish to run an SMTP server on.
