Community strings with @ "at" symbol break the command line.

Version:
braa 0.81 - Mateusz 'mteg' Golicz <mtg@elsat.net.pl>, 2003 - 2006

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Community strings with @ "at" symbol break the command line.
Tried using "\" escapes, single and double quotes.  perhaps make braa look for escape characters and quotes for community strings with special characters?

Thanks!
