Use 

  <0xlukej at gmail.com>

To indicate that it is an email address.  Take care of shell quoting
rules.  From the manual:

  @item By exact match on an email address.
  This is indicated by enclosing the email address in the usual way
  with left and right angles.
  
  @cartouche
  @example
  <heinrichh@@uni-duesseldorf.de>
  @end example
  @end cartouche
  

Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
