We see

   C-h e runs the command view-echo-area-messages, which is an
   interactive compiled Lisp function in `help.el'.

   It is bound to C-h e, <f1> e, <help> e.

   (view-echo-area-messages)

   View the log of recent echo-area messages: the `*Messages*' buffer.
   The number of messages retained in that buffer
   is specified by the variable `message-log-max'.

However underfed key messages don't end in there and indeed have no way
to be captured. So perhaps the above description should mention how to
capture them,

What's an "underfed key message"?

n> What's an "underfed key message"?

E.g., I hit C-x j
and at the bottom of the screen I see
C-x j is undefined
But this is now shown with C-h e in emacs-version "24.5.1"
so I'm closing this bug.

reopen 13326
thanks

Yup, seems like this 24174 problem (and grandpa, me) will be "with us for a while".

P.S., for 13326 I in 24174 found something that still doesn't end up in
C-h e' output. (Marked "BAD" in my 24174 comments, so I might as well reopen
13326 too!

Translation: you would like questions asked by map-y-or-n-p to be
recorded in the Messages buffer.
