+Items can be surrounded by double quotes `"'.
+If within the quotes other quotes are needed for an address they can be
+escaped with a leading backslash `\\'.
 
-A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded.
+A leading backslash `\\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded.
 
-A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the standard input of a command.
