Subject: bug#12849: 24.2.50; Doc: `message': mention `message-log-max'
Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2012 01:14:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87haoyxqk3.fsf@web.de> (raw)

Hi,

I made the experience that many people don't know that logging messages
(printed with `message') in the *Messages* buffer can be prevented with
binding `message-log-max' to nil.

Indeed, it's not easy to find in the doc, and the name `message-log-max'
also doesn't sound as if this variable could have this effect.

I think we should mention this effect of binding `message-log-max' to
nil in the docstring of `message', e.g. by changing this sentence:

The message also goes into the `*Messages*' buffer.

to

The message also goes into the `*Messages*' buffer if `message-log-max'
is not nil.


Thanks,

Michael.
