When @code{inhibit-message} is non-@code{nil}, no message will be displayed
in the echo area, it will only be logged to @samp{*Messages*}.
+If the minibuffer is active, it uses the @code{minibuffer-message}
+function to display the message temporarily at the end of the
+minibuffer (@pxref{Minibuffer Misc}).
+
If @var{format-string} is @code{nil} or the empty string,
@code{message} clears the echo area; if the echo area has been
-expanded automatically, this brings it back to its normal size. If
-the minibuffer is active, this brings the minibuffer contents back
-onto the screen immediately.
+expanded automatically, this brings it back to its normal size.
@example
@group
*** Minibuffer now uses 'minibuffer-message' to display error messages
at the end of the active minibuffer.
++++
+*** The function 'message' now displays the message at the end of the minibuffer
+when the minibuffer is active.
+
+++
*** 'y-or-n-p' now uses the minibuffer to read 'y' or 'n' answer.
