That message comes from write-region, which fortunately provide a way to silence it: (defun save-messages-buffer () (with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*Messages*") ;; (save-buffer 0) or even just (basic-save-buffer) is too noisy, so ;; we lose their functionality (including basic-save-buffer-1 and ;; basic-save-buffer-2): (when (and buffer-file-name (buffer-modified-p)) (write-region (point-min) (point-max) buffer-file-name nil 'quiet)))) -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
