I would prefer a space after the email name: {ftp.kli.org -Daq ghogh1.wav
tu'lu'bogh}: so that people know what is part of the text that has to go into
the computer, and which not. Same as in English I put a space after any email
name or the like that happens to be immediately before punctuation. Same as,
if I happen to put a computer instruction in "quotes" next before punctuation:
thus: to get a compact list of the file names type "dir /w", I insist on the
comma or fullstop being OUTSIDE the quotes for clarity even if I must aim a
photon torpedo at the printer while he is doing the job.
