Great Gmail hack for archiving
I came across this hack from Steve Rubel's Turn Gmail Into Your Personal Nerve Center which basically allows you to extend your existing Gmail account with "sub-domains" (my word, not his) so that you can archive emails etc. without having to send them and file them.
Gmail supports youraddress+(extra)@gmail.com. A clearer example of this is opensources+archive@gmail.com would still deliver to the opensources address, but I created a filter that puts a label on the mail and archives it automatically. Thank you Gmail.
Lifehacker has known about this forever, but it was news to me.

Hopefully you're aware of the fundamental flaw in this system, in that many email validations will not accept a plus sign as a valid character. If you find services that do though, it's very handy.
