One of my favorite features of gmail is the ability to add a specifier
to my email address in the form of [email address]'. It
has allowed me to filter my incoming mail more effectively, and manage
multiple Paypal accounts from one email account.
However, this only works when I give someone the modified email
address directly. If I just send an email, then the return address is
unmodified, and I can't use a specifier like above.
So my question is: How can I send email with a return address with
such a specifier?
You can change the reply-to at the account level before you start
composing, then change it back. (In Settings/Accounts)
If you have a limited number, you might want to define them in "Send
Mail As" (also in Settings/Accounts). Then you can select it when you
compose a message.

Brilliant. Clumsy, but it gets the job done.

This was the first thing I looked at, but it adds more for spoof
protection, than I want.

I don't understand this comment. You can add 'plus' addresses to
'Send Mail As' easily, and they work like any other.
