Thanks again...

I now have added this to my .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defadvice read-from-minibuffer (before crush-message activate)
  (message nil))

(defadvice completing-read (before crush-message activate)
  (message nil))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, that still does not solve this override problem...

Best regards,
  Seb
