Pedantically: plus addressing is a *convention* not a *standard* (at least I know of no RFC for it). As you allude to, some e-mail systems will conflate "you+foo@", "you+bar@" and "you@" all into the mailbox for "you", which is considered a feature by many (and one which many of us have used). Some mail-systems will not, and will treat all three local-parts as representing separate and distinct addresses. The number of e-mail systems which support this conflation is decreasing over time, at least that is my experience. D -- I prefer to use encrypted mail.
