Indeed, thank you both for catching that. As the docstring of `message' mentions, one should always use (message "%s" SOMETHING) unless SOMETHING is a plain string (i.e. one without formatting instructions).
I believe you mean should always use (message "%s" SOMETHING) if SOMETHING is a plain string (i.e. one without formatting instructions).
No, I mean what I wrote. :-) Maybe my explanation sucks. I'll try differently: If you *know* SOMETHING is a string without formatting instructions (i.e., not containing %-sequences), (message SOMETHING) will do. In yet another words, there is no point in doing (message "%s" "just an innocuous string") Štěpán
