You have to use backquotes so that expressions are considered as code to
execute, instead of data. See Emacs manual.
In your case, something like this should do it (untested):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("m" "Message" entry (file+datetree
,(buffer-file-name (buffer-base-buffer))) "* MSG @ %U %?\n %a")))
#+end_src
See backquote used instead of quote.
See comma in front of functions and variables.
Here, though, I'm not sure whether another comma is needed or not in front of
=buffer-base-buffer=.
Best regards,
Seb
