I'm vaguely familiar with Unicode issues from discussions on how to
implement same in Perl. I'd say this is something to be taken care of
much later; trying to determine the character set that an incoming
message uses, mapping that to some part of the Unicode space, and then
using that as well as the (possibly different) part of the Unicode
space requested for the user interface strikes me as *awfully* hairy. 

It also looks like we'd be implementing the translation ourselves,
since ONCE AGAIN (grr) PHP only thinks in ISO-8859-1.
