Subject: 26.0.50; Provide an option to suppress "wrote to file" messages
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2016 17:28:12 -0600

Hi,

This is not exactly a bug, but a request for an option that allows us to
suppress "Wrote to <file>" messages from Emacs. These messages are
distracting to the work flow for example if you use recentf and have
autosave enabled.

The following thread has related discussion: 
emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14706/suppress-message-in-minibuffer-when-a-buffer-is-saved/.

Is the suggestion there to use `inhibit-message' not enough?

I was wondering whether it made more sense and is possible to not 
disable (message ) globally, but instead only say in write-region.

In more recent Emacs versions, this can be controlled by
`set-message-function' -- you can match on the message you want to
suppress.  So I'm closing this bug report.
