Please make sure messages like
"Buffer Makefile modified; kill anyway? (yes or no) "
end up in *Messages*. Thanks.
I thought it was due to emacsclient but it turned out not to be.
So no fancy test like the below needed.
$ cat Makefile
h:
emacsclient -n --eval '(kill-buffer "Makefile")'
$ emacs Makefile
now with the server started, add some blanks to the Makefile and do M-x
compile, but don't save the Makefile...
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
of 2010-11-21 on elegiac, modified by Debian
(emacs-snapshot package, version 1:20101120-1)

Why?
It is an interactive query. Did you type "yes" without reading it?

I sometimes forget. And then I look in the *Messages* buffer, and am
disappointed that it's not there...

I wondered where the yes-or-no-p prompt happened, and it's in the bowels
of read_minibuf, and it's this:
/* Insert the prompt, record where it ends. */
Finsert (1, &minibuf_prompt);
So if we want to do this, it probably makes sense to put absolutely all
minibuffer prompts into the *Messages* buffer.
And that's actually something I can see the charm in doing, but I'm not
quite sure that the use case is compelling. Dan mentions

but you can do that by just going to the beginning of the minibuffer and
copying the text there.
Does anybody have an opinion here?

Nobody had, and as I said, I don't really see a compelling use case
here, so I'm closing this bug report.

GM> Why?
Probably so one has a way of putting the message into a bug report if needed.
GM> It is an interactive query. Did you type "yes" without reading it?
I just want a easy way of telling people what emacs just said to me if needed.
