Problems with mail log messages and UTF-8

Hi, I'm using subversion and the mailer.py script to send mail log with
commits.

I'm using the locale: es_ES.UTF-8 so all my text is UTF-8. Subversion
works well with it, svn log shows me my logs as UTF-8 perfectly, but the
mailed log sends me the log reencoded again as UTF-8.

For example, If I type:

ñáéíóú

I get from svn log :

ñáéíóú

But the mail shows:

ñáéíóú

As long as I know it's because it gets the UTF-8 string and tries to
recode it as UTF-8 again so the special char "Ã" is recoded as "Ã" and
it breaks the mail :-(

I'm using subversion 0.18.1

Any idea?

P.S.: I'm using mailer.py because I have apache2 inside a chroot and I
need to use my tcp/ip SMTP server instead of /usr/bin/sendmail.

Thank you.
