Frontmatter does not always parse properly in obsidian

Problem statement
Some of my notes, when exported, their frontmatter fails to parse in obsidian, and thus, I am not able to run dataview queries as desired.
Here is an example:
---
date: '2014-04-30 03:55:32 +0000'
updated_at: '2014-04-30 03:55:32 +0000'
title: Fwd: Clever Household Hints.....
tags: [ 'archive', 'email spam' ]
source: mail.smtp
---
I found that if I go through and add double or single quotes to the title, obsidian immediately parses the frontmatter properly, and dataview is able to index it.
Is there a way to update the --addFrontMatter flag so that it surrounds the title in quotes? (will also need to escape whichever quote you surround with. e.g. Fwd: 10 things that make you say "thats crazy" should be exported as title: "Fwd: 10 things that make you say \"thats crazy\""

Hey @lzilioli , thanks for reporting this issue. It shouldn't be a problem to fix this bug - I'll try to find time during upcoming holidays to submit a fix. 👍🏻
