This. 

How on earth can such a great feature be rejected in such an ignorant manner? I know *a lot* of people who use virtual addresses on a daily basis and esp. Rene's extension made working with emails per se less painful. And it's not only about those "+-addresses", in the end Rene's extension gave us the possibility to use catchall-domains, multiple domains, service-related addresses etc. without a hustle. And with Rene's proposal here it would even make everything easier again. 

So, maybe Magnus Melin [:mkmelin] reconsiders his quick rejection, let's at least hope for it. Not updating your email client because an extension is missing can't  be the solution.
