It's not absolutely clear in the original report whether the quotes were
included or just used to quote the address...  However, since they are
around the entire address, the latter is most likely.

As Gene states, this:
   Dr. ???, DVM, MS, MPP <???@???.ca>
won't work; but this:
   "Dr. ???, DVM, MS, MPP" <???@???.ca>
does.

HTH,
