First of all i am apprehensive you really want to change the source code. I
mean for your purpose a simple Libpurple plugin or a Dbus script will do the
needful!!

Here's what you can easily do:

1. In the source code documentation of conv API there's a signal called
sending-im-message, sending-chat-message( which ever interface u r wanting
). Which is emitted just before u send a message is sent.

2. It has char **message as one of the arguments!!

3. Modify to whatever u like!

4. Write a plugin for it!

Cheers!!
