It should be enhanced to cope with addresses in the form

Check the specifics, but I think that Google's extension allows more than one plus character.
This was surprising, seeing that the filter does recognise the minus character in

NB. I've not tested whether this filter can cope with email addresses that have Unicode characters beyond the ANSI range.
