Gmail and Plus Addressing for filtering
Playing around with Gmail this afternoon and discovered that it also supports Plus Addressing. This allows you to add a filter to your email address when handling ever you want to hand over you email address. Lets say your email address is yourusername@gmail.com and you wanted to sign-up to an Adobe news letter. The email address you might enter could be yourusername+adobenewsletter@gmail.com. Then in Gmail set up a filter/label and thats it.

or you could just filter on the from address field!!
That is a cool tip, thanks!
The reason you want to use the plus filter instead of the from filter, is that it allows you to track who is being irrisponsible with your email address. Unfortunately, many websites won't allow a plus sign as part of what they think is a vaild email address, including Adobe, I think.
