You can use any quoting mechanism you like:
...("This is a programmer's ...")
...([EMAIL PROTECTED] is a programmer's ...@)

Well, SA won't help you with general Perl quoting, just so we're clear this
isn't SA specific. You could read the string into a variable then pass the

$variable = <<EOF;
This is a programmer's ...
blah
foo bar
EOF
...check_message_text($variable);
