adding a string to a string variable in batch

Question

set mail=backups:
set mail=%mail%"|pc1-OK"
set mail=%mail%"|pc2-OK"
set mail=%mail%"|pc3-OK"
set mail=%mail%"|pc4-OK"

blat.exe -to [email protected] -f [email protected] -server 172.x.x.x -s "test" -body %mail%

gives me an email with the body:

backups:
pc1-OK"
pc2-OK
pc3-OK
pc4-OK

Why is there a " after the first PC?

Without knowing how does blat internally work, i can not answer why there is only one quote in the output.

But, this is how it should be written

set "mail=backups:"
set "mail=%mail%|pc1-OK"
set "mail=%mail%|pc2-OK"
set "mail=%mail%|pc3-OK"
set "mail=%mail%|pc4-OK"

blat.exe -to [email protected] -f [email protected] -server 172.x.x.x -s "test" -body "%mail%"
