Cant create reserve proof with message

[MexicanTakeout]

This is on Monero 'Fluorine Fermi' (v0.18.0.0-b6a029f22) stage net. Steps to reproduce:

• create wallet
• use a faucet to supply moneroj to wallet
• open wallet and type in get_reserve_proof 10 "this is a message" response shows Error: usage: get_reserve_proof (all|\<amount>) [\<message>]

Strangely enough, it works with single word message but the signature turns out to be bad when check with check_reserve_proof. Other than that, get_reserve_proof works fine with just the amount.

This is not true. You can in fact create reserve proof with a message. From a technical standpoint there is no reason to have whitespace in a message. Hence change it to this_is_a_message with no quotations. You are thinking of 'message' as in terms of a written sentence with proper punctuation.

@reemuru RPC call can parse message inside double quotes like here https://i.imgur.com/epIinY6.png So I think this is an inconsistency issue.

The use of message string also wasn't clear to me at first. I expected it to be like a secret message that would reveal to a receiver after verified proof, but it is more like a password to use in decrypting the reserve proof.

In response to the bad signature problem, the message is required for a reserve proof with message.
