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
btw. Google ignores any dots in the addressee's name. Thus these are equivalent:
NB. I've not tested whether this filter can cope with email addresses that have Unicode characters beyond the ANSI range.
