using "+" in email address in gmail

[Skaperen]

gmail lets its users receive email with "+" appended to the username part, ignoring anything that follows. so, email addressed to "foobar+whatever@gmail.com" gets delivered to "foobar@gmail.com". what i would like to know is how to send email with a "+" as the from: address or as the reply-to: address.

Have you tried simply changing your source address? I know Thunderbird and Mutt do this natively. Clawz I recall I had to something trivial but wasn't as easy.

i don't see a way to do that in gmail.

You'd need to do this outside of gmail and from a client. I also believe gmail allows for aliases, though I could imagine they wouldn't permit you to spoof another gmail address.

That's a shame.

so, gmail doesn't have a way to use a tagged email address as the from/sender/reply-to address. to use a tagged email at a site that wants you to send email to register (not the safe way to do it) i have to switch to using a local client. can i continue the web usage, too, or do i need to switch everything to a local client?

You can try this.

I just tried but the account I'm in doesn't allow it. Might work if you own the Gmail account.

that isn't allowed for @gmai.com addresses.
