I got some more specific information

the problem is not about 'tee' but actually about writing to a text 
file  through redirection or tee or...;
when you write to 100% unix path the text mode will be OK (DOS) but when 
you write path such as d:/.... or //10.0.0.132/share/....
the text mode will be wrong (UNIX). See the following example.

i wrote a script
Test.sh :
echo word1 >> $1
echo word2 >> $1

the working directory is /cygdrive/d

the following command will produce a DOS text file
bash-2.05b$ bash test.sh testlog
bash-2.05b$ bash test.sh /cygdrive/d/testlog
 
the following
bash-2.05b$ bash test.sh d:/testlog
bash-2.05b$ bash test.sh //10.0.0.132/echange/testlog


I can convert d:/ style  to /cydrive/d/... using cygpath command
but the //10.0.0.132/share/... style cannot be converted to anything.
What can I do to make it work ?
