To be clear, this is a Sieve extension to handle subaddressing. As far 
as I know, there is no RFC describing any standard format for 
subaddressing. It's a local mail system feature and implementations can 
vary.

But that's not important. I just tested my own test Gmail account and it 
appears I did not remember correctly (or Gmail changed behavior). I 
successfully sent using a From address like this:

	username+test at gmail.com

I can also (as expected) send to this address and if I add the following 
to the Address Pattern of the account then replies also work as 
expected:

	username\+.*@gmail\.com

In other words, the original issue in this ticket is still unexplained.
