From Emacs Lisp Manual (37.4)
The "echo area" is used for displaying error messages (*note Errors::),
for messages made with the `message' primitive, and for echoing
keystrokes.
The message primitive however also writes its argument to the
message-buffer. Is it possible to inhibit this? Or asked more generally:
How can i write message to echo area without having it logged in message
buffer as well?

Bind `message-log-max' to nil - see its docstring. Admittedly this
feature is not easy to discover when you don't know where to search.

The doc string of 'message' mentions 'message-log-max'.
