I use plus forwarding to be able to see which websites are sending me

thinking about the Example Mailing List Smart Mailbox which has a sub

the + forwarding label. But then you need regexp's in the MailMate
query system or something implemented for the plus part. Some
thoughts about this here?
As Torsten already replied then this is possible. It would also be a
nice addition to the default set of specifiers and I'll probably add
that when I've returned from vacation. It shouldn't take long to add.
The hard part is probably to choose good names for these specifiers
:-)
Great! I was hoping for this reply. I have read the details about
Torsten's hack and started up a plist editor but I got a headache of all
the regexp voodoo. I will however study your implementation :)
About the name:
Some mail services allow a user to append a tag to their email address
(e.g., where joeu...@example.com is the main address, which would also
accept mail for joeuser+w...@example.com or
joeuser-fam...@example.com). The text of tag may be used to apply
filtering and to create single-use addresses.[8] Some IETF
standards-track documents, such as RFC 5233 refer to this convention
as "sub-addressing". However, many websites' automatic form validation
scripts or software will reject + as an invalid character in the email
address.
I would propose `subuser` and only implement i think the + sign.
Have a nice vacation.
