GMail knows who you really are..

You might already know that GMail ignores dot characters and the case of letters in your email ID. So johnsmith@gmail.com, John.Smith@gmail.com and jOhNS.mith@gmail.com point to the same mailbox.
Try this for a bit of amusement,

Send a mail to your GMail account inserting a few dots in your id (or try changing capitalization).
e.g. if your mail id is abcd@gmail.com, try sending a mail to A.bc.D@gmail.com

Go to your GMail inbox. You will see that you have received the mail you just sent.

Click on 'Show Details' for this mail and observe the 'To' field.
