Addendum by Brian.

Gmail also supports "plus-addressing" of emails. Messages can be sent
to addresses in the form: gmail.user+extratext@gmail.com where
extratext can be any string. Plus-addressing allows users to sign up
for different services with different aliases and then easily filter
all e-mails from those services. It does not appear, however, that the
+string feature works when sending email from a Gmail account to
itself.
Users can then manipulate incoming traffic in Gmail by working with
the "sent to " option for filters.
