[rt-users] escaping @ in email addresses in RT_SiteConfig.pm -- to do or not to do?

[Hasan Muhammad]

--when this address is set as...
  Set($OwnerEmail, "admin at test-network.us");
...it results in this error...
  Possible unintended interpolation of @test in string at /etc/rt/RT_SiteConfig.pm line 34.
...when the database is created (or dropped)

--when the @ is escaped as...
  Set($OwnerEmail, "admin\@test-network.us");
...no error (message) occurs

--however, no error message occurs with the other email address...
  Set($CorrespondAddress, 'correspond at rt.test-network.us');
  Set($CommentAddress, 'comment at rt.test-network.us');
...whether they are escaped or not

--what is the correct method for specifying email addresses, with or without the escape?
