If message is used in place of minibuffer message, works > as expected. I think your expectations are incorrect, and Emacs works correctly in this case. > The reason I think current-message should work with minibuffer-message is due to its docstring: "Return the > string currently displayed in the echo area, or nil if none." The echo area and the minibuffer are two different buffers. They both use the same mini-window to display their text, but they are not the same. > PS Is there some other way to get what's currently displayed in the echo area? You mean, what is shown in the mini-window? Is minibuffer-contents what you want?
