Subversion commit email script and "unprintable" characters

We are using a (very old) commit-email.pl script to send out email notifications from a post-commit hook on our Linux server running Subversion 1.7.5. Lately I’ve noticed some emails that contain lots of “unprintable” characters. Here is a snippet from a recent commit:

    If it?\226?\128?\153s nil, I set to false.

This is happening mostly from Mac clients. Running “svn log” from the command line on Linux and Windows shows the check-in comment correctly, but not from a Mac client ironically. This leads me to believe that the log is stored correctly on the server but that the commit-email.pl is script is not properly sending it out. I assume this is an issue with not properly encoding TF. So my questions are:

   1. Where can I find the latest version of the commit-email.pl script and does it fix this issue?
   2. If not, what is the current recommended script to use to send email notifications from a post-commit hook?

Thanks,
Alfred
