Text File Attachment in SAP Mail ECC 6.0

Question

Hi,
Is it possible to use a text format 'TXT' on the Function Module "O_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" in ECC 6.0? Because I've seen alot of examples in the forum that are using 'XLS' Format attachments.
I made a program that have been attaching text fomat file in the SAP mail. It is working fine in other SAP boxes but in our current box, as I tested it, opening the text attachment, the result is a file text now contained a long string (max1022 char) instead of a file that is tab-delimited. What would you suggest on this?
