as anybody else noticed that googlegroups changed the way that emails are sent to owners or moderators of a google group?

it used to be GROUPNAME-owner[put at-character here]googlegroups.com and now its GROUPNAME+owner[put at-character here]googlegroups.com

it changed from '-' to '+'

all my rules and filters stop working without notice!

i didn't notice this but could this be because gmail has always used "+" for accepting emails to one address? for example something sent to tralala+cat[put at-character here]gmail.com would still go to tralala[put at-character here]gmail.com (dunno...first things i thought of....lol)

i know that. but its funny that they changed the googlegroups thing and didnt even warn user or group owners.

took me a while to fix all my rules and filters.
