Sorry, but it is unclear from your message what problem you are trying to solve, what your desired outcome is, and why you think that outcome is desired. The bracketed one shown above does _not_ look like a valid email address, so using

    name = "author@example.com"
    email = "author@example.com@11B4..."

does not sound like a good thing to do to begin with.
