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.
