Did you change both lines? I also see forward slashes in the line which
is described as "SEND THE EMAIL" at the very end.

For that matter, this line looks wrong too. Earlier, you set the
variable DIR to "E:\Repositories\WSBokhari\hooks". The value of this
variable will be substituted whenever "%DIR%" appears. Thus if you have
"SET MESSAGE_FILE=%DIR%\message.txt" this is the same as "SET
MESSAGE_FILE=E:\Repositories\WSBokhari\hooks\message.txt" and the value
of this variable will be substituted whenever "%MESSAGE_FILE%" appears,
as it does on the last line.

If you replace the forward slashes in the last line with backslashes and
perform the substitution of "%MESSAGE_FILE%", the first word of the line
will become
"E:\Repositories\WSBokhari\E:\Repositories\WSBokhari\hooks\message.txt",
which is obviously an invalid Windows path name.

The message file is clearly not intended to include the name of the mail
program, so you need to supply the name of the E-mail program. I don't
know what that would be. Nor do I know the command-line parameters for
the E-mail program, so I cannot tell you whether the syntax of this line
is correct. But if your E-mail send program is
"E:\Repositories\WSBokhari\hooks\send_message.exe" and it accepted the
parameters you have listed, the last line of the batch program would be:

E:\Repositories\WSBokhari\hooks\send_message.exe %MESSAGE_FILE% %server%
%to% %from% %subj% %auth%

You really need a book on Windows batch file processing.
