Why? Think of it, passwords are md5ed for security, PM's would be the same; SHA is a two way algoritm, unlike MD5 which is one way. You could decode the pm's as an admin or user viewing the pm, however some random guy who rooted your machine can't just view pm's or passwords in plain text... just a thought in any reguards though
