I don't believe it is ascii.  The line (shown above) is extremely
garbled, but it looks like a binary (or unicode) string garbled as it
passes through you mail client while sending and my mail client while
reading.

So do this:
  print type(ErrorInfo)
and 
  print `ErrorInfo`  # the back quotes are important here
before you write it out and tell us the results.

I think you'll find that the contents of ErrorInfo is not a string
filled with only printable ascii characters.
