It will use whatever you have set as your default editor, which can be changed in your account settings.

That is correct. DDMsgReader reads the messages, then uses whatever you have configured for an external editor to write messages. I would suggest trying SlyEdit with DDMsgReader, since they are made by the same person, and work well together. Besides the one you have already used, there is also some other editors specifically for Synchronet (well, BBSs that supports javascript, I suppose), as well as any old "door" external editors like IceEdit, QuikEdit, etc. I've also used nano and vim as external editors (with a "restricted" option in place to not allow users to access the hard drive at all, besides saving their message).

Hah! I'd agree you picked a perfect message to reply to! ;)
