Hi Duggie,

If you use extension addresses and want to carry on using them with
minimal changes then I would be very reluctant to switch to
something where '-' doesn't work. I prefer '+' myself and use it
wherever possible, but many many web sites and systems think that '+'
is invalid in a localpart.

I've seen some people put a subdomain under gmail control so they
can use localpart@??? to give to web sites.

Cheers,
Andy
