Looking at faq 933 would have told you, that the recommendation is, to use paste() for text containing special characters and type() only for functional keys.

Too complicated???

This should work on any Windows:

App.open("notepad.exe") # opens a new notepad window
wait(3) # wait for notepad to be ready
paste("<email address hidden>")
wait(3) # that you can see, what happens
