I have just implemented that whenever you mean a file name
in capture templates, you can instead give a function, a
variable, or a lisp form. So your original attempt
>> ("m" "Message" entry (file+datetree (buffer-file-name
>> (buffer-base-buffer))) "* MSG @ %U %?\n %a")
should now work.
Hope this helps
