It is the shell (the Command Line Interpreter) that handles quotes and should interpret the quoted message as a single argument. What shell are you using? Under Unix and under Cygwin, most shells including Bash handle this correctly. Under Windows, some versions of the Windows/DOS shell do not, especially when passing arguments to a batch file.
