inhibit-startup-echo-area-message is a weird variable.
inhibit-startup-echo-area-message is a variable defined in
`startup.el'.
Documentation: Non-nil inhibits the initial startup echo area
message. Setting this variable takes effect only if you do it with
the customization buffer or if your `.emacs' file contains a line of
this form: (setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "YOUR-USER-NAME")
[...]
Thus, someone else using a copy of your `.emacs' file will see the
startup message unless he personally acts to inhibit it.
IMO there should be another possible value option for
inhibit-startup-echo-area-message - a non-nil, non-string value
unconditionally inhibits the startup echo are message.
Is this a reasonable request? If so, I'd love to prepare a patch.
