Description

User HC has said they know several people who have several different e-mail accounts which all get forwarded into one box, and therefore when they reply, they're not really sure which they need to use.

So we need a feature where people can add 'alternative e-mail' addresses in to their profile settings that are all allowed to post to the system, but appear as the same person.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how profile email addresses are stored and how incoming replies are matched to users; done means multiple alternative addresses can be added in profile settings, are allowed to post, and resolve to the same person.
