Yes, that's quite handy. There are sites, however, that disallow `+`
signs in the username portion of email addresses; for these if you
really need to you can often bypass the restriction with arbitrary
dots in a username. I.e., `foo@example.com`, `f.oo@example.com` and
`fo.o@example.com` are all the same mailbox. (This has been handy for me
on some sites where I needed multiple accounts but they insisted on a
unique email address for each account and didn't allow `+`s.)
