   The QUOTES.TXT file must exist (when using an external editor configured in   
   SCFG as "All" or "Prompt User"), but we don't expose `sbbs_t::quotemsg()` in a   
   JS method and don't call it automatically in `bbs.post_msg()`. This leads to   
   custom message readers needing to do their own QUOTES.TXT file generation,   
   e.g.:   
   https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blame/master/xtrn/ecreader/lib.js#L692   
      
   Or else risk getting errors like this when trying to post replies via JS:   
   ```   
    !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) in writemsg.cpp line 396   
   (writemsg) opening "/sbbs/node1/QUOTES.TXT" access=0   
   ```   
      
   This issue likely impacts other message creation functions too (not just   
   `post_msg()`).
