 Hi,
 GMail has this cool function that if you add a plus sign to your email you
 can work with filters and get a variety of email aliases (ref.
 https://gmail.googleblog.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-
 your.html).
 If you use it on WordPress it will cut the plus sign, making the account
 unreachable.

 It would be useful if WordPress could handle this function, but at least
 it should cut everything after the plus sign, not only the sign itself.

 Example: testemail at gmail.com is the original email address,
 testemail+wp at gmail.com is an alias, WordPress transforms this into
 testmailwp at gmail.com that is a completely different email address,
 unreachable from the real user.

 So WordPress could not remove the plus sign or at least remove all the
 part after the sign.

 Thanks :)
