It's hard to say. This is a major deal as it's not something we can just quickly write and call it good. Later versions of PHP 5+ have built in functions to do a conversion, while earlier versions do not and will need to have something like iconv installed in order to convert the charset. Database collations will also need to be altered more than likely, so at this point I haven't even had a chance to thoroughly look at how we'll be able to accomplish this.

The other option is to rework the private message portion to not use xml and just use plaintext as we do with the preview post area. I'm not sure if this is feasible yet and if we can do the full Private Message options we have now if we go that route, but it's something I'm looking at.
