    writemsg() was changing the global smb.subnum and when writing an email or netmail, that subnum value is -1 (since it's not a sub-board) and then later show_msg() is using the smb.subnum as a index into scfg.sub[] when determining if the current user already voted on the message being displayed and then: bang, crash, fall down, go boom.

    Simply saving and restoring the smb.subnum when executing an external editor is all that was needed here. And this is the first use of the C++ "auto" keyword in Synchronet!

    Log Message:
    Bounds-check the buffer being written in msgeditor()

    Replace the suspicious strcpy/strcat's in msgeditor(), the built-in line editor, with bounds-enforced snprintf() calls.
    Also, properly define MAX_LINE_LEN to account for the trailing \r\n on each line. It appears we've been under allocating the total possible message buffer size (by 2 bytes per line) for a while now.
    These 2 changes together should fix issue #547: apparent heap corruption due
    to 'buf' overflow in msgeditor().
    Also added a line count check/cap-enforcement with logged error message if exceeded (should never happen).

    Also fixed in this commit: off-by-one when enforcing max message length in msgeditor().

    Also added checks that the 'cols' (used in MAX_LINE_LEN) are reasonable values (40+), 2 was below the threshold of what would be expected to work since
    there is logic that deducts 4 from cols, for example.

    Fix internal line editor buffer overflow (heap corruption)

    ... wasn't accounting for length of the 'top' buffer (when supplied).

    Also, for raw input mode:
    - flush the input buffer (stray LF) before accepting input
    - turn off raw input mode if run out of bytes (max lines/length reached)

    I was investigating the reported error by Nelgin:
    !ERROR in writemsg.cpp line 1214 (msgeditor) checking
    "max lines (20) exceeded" access=46
    which I was unable to reproduce, when I encountered the issues addressed
    in this commit.

    Replaced one specific comparison of subnum == INVALID_SUB with call to is_valid_subnum() just to be consistent. No functional change there.

    Works around a problem where DDMsgReader always creates QUOTES.TXT (never quotes.txt), but SBBS tries to read in the file with the case it expects.
    This wouldn't be a problem on case-insensitive file systems (Windows).

    Resolves the writemsg.cpp error reported by Nelgin

    Allow UTF-8 sequences in message subjects (passing K_UTF8 to getstr)

    This was the behavior for all string input in SBBS until recently
    (Commit 55ccda6294f82506), with this change, an exception is being
    made for message subjects, but the vast majority of other string
    input is still limited to single-byte (i.e. US-ASCII or CP437)
    characters.

    This should fix issue #720
