Bug Description

Gmail allows its users to use email adresses that are derived from their main login by appending a plus and an arbitrary suffix.
I would like to use this to be able to filter launchpad mail better in my inbox.

So I tried to add an address in addition to my current one

<email address hidden>
<email address hidden>

But there’s this error:
  ' <email address hidden>' doesn't seem to be a valid email address.

This address is actually valid. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail#Addresses
