What type of file is created when done thru CMD file

I created the following batch file to run on a daily basis thats send me an email with an attached file, One email goes to my blackbery email address and the other goes to my personal email
When I get the email on my personal desktop email on my blackberry cell I can not open the attachement I get this message (unable to retrieve) Now on the blackberry cell when I get the email to my blackberry email address I have no problem opening the attachment.

I can open attachments like photos work docs spreadsheets no problem on my blackberry desktop email (my personal email account)

The problem is the file I am creating using this batch file is having the issue. It is a .txt file

I haave sent myself other .txt (notepad) files and had no problem

I run this on a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise 64bit SP2 Server

Use a batch utility febooti which send the email using smtp

I even ran from a command prompt using febooti with an txt file and it worked

Again only the ,txt file that is create from the followin batch file I can not open

Here is the cmd file

del c:\util\*.log
del c:\util\report.txt
del c:\util\reportA.txt
xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ABC\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\*.log" c:\util
dir c:\util\*.log /b /od >c:\util\ordered.txt
echo %date% >c:\util\copylogx.txt
echo %time% >>c:\util\copylogx.txt
type c:\util\copylog.txt >>c:\util\copylogx.txt
for /f "skip=9" %%1 IN (ordered.txt) do rename %%1 current.log

rem current.log is Unicode, so won't go in a text message
type c:\util\current.log >c:\util\%dtt%.log
type c:\util\current.log >c:\util\report.txt
rem above converts current.log from Unicode to ascii

copy c:\util\current.log c:\util\reportA.txt /A

xcopy %dtt%.log "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ABC\Desktop\Support Files\Backuplogs\"

rem Send email with status of job
c:\util\febooti\febootimail -from testuser@tabc.com -to mycelll@vzw.blackberry.net -msg "Open attachment for Report" -subj "Server Weekly Backup" -attach report.txt -smtp 192.1681.26

c:\util\febooti\febootimail -from testuser@abc.com -to desktop@abc.com -msg "Open attachment for Report" -subj " Server Weekly Backup" -attach reportA.txt -smtp 192.168.1.26

rem delete *.bkf files older than 21 days
forfiles /p "D:\Server Backup\Server" /m *.bkf /d -21 /c "cmd /c del @path"

del c:\util\ordered.txt
del c:\util\copylogx.txt

exit

I have tried different options on the copy command /A /R no luck

One more thing I have the sma eproblem when using a PS1 file that creates a .txt output file can not up the aattachment

Any ideas or thoughts

I updated to version 4.0 but the same thing happens still cant open the attachments

It has to be the way the file is created but I am not sure

No it does not work I tryied Copy ./A and Copy /R no luck

I thought maybe using PS1 instead of the cmd file but that does not help either

FEBOOTI has a probloem sending attached files to a blackberry thier support does not have any blackberry service to test with had to use
-MSG -USEFILE mailboxesA.txt

This places the contents of mailboxesA.txt into the body of the email and thats is working

Would like to have the attachment work but this will do for now...
