Most shells (ksh, csh, sh) will parse it properly either way.  You could
also say:  -d Stan\ Brown@7453195.  All the " does is tell ksh how to
build ARGV for passage to exec().

I was able to verify that the above works for sendfax; assuming you are
running the right sendfax command, it should work unless something you are
typing does not match what you printed above.
