If you are responding to an email sent to a masked email, it automatically uses the masked email as an identity. Otherwise, it doesn't show masked emails as identities, so it doesn't clutter the list.

I really wish there was a similar feature for emails sent to plus/subdomain addresses, where it automatically uses that e-mail address instead of having to create an identity first.

Having a completely random email address does have some advantages. I've seen spammers manipulate stuff after the plus sign. It's also useful when dealing with businesses in person - either the plus is confusing, the plus isn't accepted, or they're going to ask about the business name being in the email address.
