Timestamper plugin and email-ext build log regex produces garbage in email

[SauravSengupta]

There seems to be some interaction between these two plugins. I'm using the timestamper plugin to add timestamps to the build logs. I'm also using the build log regex functionality in the email-ext plugin to add the relevant section of the logs to the email. But if the build logs have timestamps in them, I see a lot of garbage (possibly Unicode?) in the email. For example:

This is copy/paste from the console log as viewed in Firefox:

03:53:12  ** Error ** Could not duplicate archive: Access is denied

And this is what came in the email:

I've raised an issue on the email-ext plugin.
