UTF-8 in mail for mac os x

Hi,

I'm using commons email 1.1 with maven and have problems with incorrect characters for html email. Swedish characters does not display correctly although it works in outlook.
I have read the JIRA  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-69 and it states that the fix will be in 1.2.

How can I apply this patch for my project?
