In fact, Bills response convinces me -- and I was the OP -- that in fact
that's probably a bad idea: you're trying to make a decision ("does an
address LHS with a plus sign denote a plushack") at a granularity where
it's not valid.
You could do this in MM, but you would have to allow users to set it
(likely, to enable it) at the user-subscription level, not the list
or server levels. With that caveat, I'd vote for the RFE. :-)
