You can also use creative approached: (setq oh-no (char-to-string 10)) (message (concat oh-no "my message")) That way you avoid "\n" while still have it. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.

You don't need `terpri' for messages. Maybe if you run Emacs on command line, you may need it. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
