Double quotes are special characters in your shell and it interprets
them so that notmuch doesn't get them. There are different ways in shell
to escape special characters:
to:\"example@email.com\"
'to:"example@email.com"'
The shell built-in "set" is useful for testing parameters:
$ set -- to:"example@email.com" to:\"example@email.com\"
$ printf '%s\n' "$@"
to:example@email.com
to:"example@email.com"
