If you simply want to write a bunch of lines with indentation, you can
do it this way:

lines=(
"foo bar base"
"foo bar base foo bar baz"
"foo bar base foo bar baz foo bar base"
)
printf "          %s\n" "address@hidden"

Or if what you really want is a block of text, consider using a here
document:

cat <<'EOF'
          foo bar base
          foo bar base foo bar baz
          foo bar base foo bar baz foo bar base
EOF
