There could be a variable you bind to have it not do such suppression (or to refine the algorithm it uses -- perhaps telling the message code what prefix to consider a duplicate [instead of looking for "..."]). However, the standard `message' calls should probably be left as is. Most elisp programmers treat `message' as temporary output, and don't consider that the results are logged, so they often write many progress messages using `message'. This looks great to the user, but can make the message log completely useles by swamping it with duplicate entries; the current suppression of duplicates tries to work around this problem. Documentation is of course a good thing... -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
