I hope this doesn't mean the escape is hard-coded in the command file!
That must be *awful* when you list it!

Please consider using something like

        ECHO ![chr(27)]&oC!R1COMMAND
or
        ECHO ![ chr(27) + "&oC" + R1COMMAND ]
or even
        setvar  esc  chr(27)
        echo ![ esc + "&oC" + R1COMMAND ]

Not only will you not have to change anything for email,
you can also list command files without fear.
