Fun with Gmail addresses

You may already know this (I just found out myself) but Gmail supports plus-addressing.

In other words, you can send an email to yourusername+anystring@gmail.com and it'll be delivered to yourusername@gmail.com.

As it turns out, gmail also ignores any periods in the username so your.username@gmail.com will go to yourusername@gmail.com as will y.ou.ruserna.me@gmail.com.

This is a pretty handy!
