    Strip control chars/ctrl-A sequences from msg subject in notify()

    We may want Ctrl-A sequences in the telegram subject, but not in the message subject

    Log Message:
    Bounds-check subnum in savemsg()

    It's possible to use savemsg() (from JS MsgBase.save_msg()) to add a message
    to a message base that's not a sub-board (not configured in SCFG->Message
    Areas and not the "mail" base), but in that case, savemsg() would dereference an invalid sub in the scfg->sub array and crash. So use is_valid_subum()
    to insure the subnum is a valid sub before using as an index.

    Log Message:
    If user doesn't modify the replied-to-msg subject, use the original subject

    (which might be UTF-8 encoded). This works-around the problem that Accession reported in #synchronet with my reply to a UTF-8 encoded message using a CP437 terminal which resulted in a message body that was UTF-8 encoded but a message subject that was CP437 encoded. This mix of encodings is not supported by FTN standards.

    This is just a work-around since if the user modifies the subject the result could still have the CP437 unside-down question marks (indicating non-translatable UNICODE chars) and those should be converted to UTF-8
    chars when going out on FTN or being stored in the message base. So there's still a bug here somewhere that I need to look into more.
