Gmail does the same. It's quite useful - apart from using it to
determine which site I signed up to has sent me mail, I also use it so I
can have multiple Guild Wars accounts using the same email account e.g.

<me>+gw1 at gmail.com
<me>+gw2 at gmail.com

All resolve to <me>@gmail.com. I have a couple of spare accounts so when
friends or relative visit we can all play together ...
