Gmail tricks

For those who didn't know, there's something called plussing in Gmail. It works simple: you put a + and some text after your username (so e.g. example@gmail.com can become example+something@gmail.com). All emails sent to example+something@gmail.com will also be sent to you: handy when filtering your email.
And there's more: if you have an emailaddress which has a dot in the username, you can also remove the dot and the email will also be sent to you!
woah! GMail bug!!
So, I sent a mail to hope.seekr at my gmail account...
As far as I can tell, it went straight to the Great Binary Bucket. No error messages, nothing. Just poof. I wonder where it got forwarded to, or if, indeed, there is yet another person copying my nick.
Are dots totally ignored/
E.g. could I be hope.seekr if i wanted to be?
lol
I think that's indeed the cas
I think that's indeed the case. When I try to sign in as a nickname without dots (e.g. I registered some.name and I log in as somename) Google will suggest me to log in as 'some.name'.
You better try though ;-).
