CentOS - Dec 2006 - command line with < > and not wanting to redirect

How do you format a command line that needs < >
and they are not meant to redirect anything they are part of an email 
address.

command -f "Some Email <someemail at somedomain.com>" -x -y -z

I tried putting a backslach in front of the < and > but that didnt do it 
either.

Thanks,

Jerry

use single quote

command -f 'Some Email <someemail at somedomain.com>' -x -y -z

That's strange.  Your example (with double or single quotes) should  
work.  It surelly works for me:

$ echo "Some Email <someemail at somedomain.com>"
Some Email <someemail at somedomain.com>

Have you done something strange in your shell's config file?
