Neat Gmail trick

Makeuseof.com points out that you can append text to your gmail address simply by inserting a "+" between your email id and the text, and the email will still be delivered to your mailbox, e.g. myname+copyright@gmail.com
Then, by using Gmail's "filter messages like these" feature, you can sort messages by "sent to" address and direct all the ones containing "copyright" into the same folder. Another example - when you sign up for a listserv, you can use "myname+listservname@gmail.com" to ensure that all emails from that particular listserv are automatically sorted.
