I am trying to get a list of buffers through elisp. So I created the following function:

(mapcar (function buffer-name) (buffer-list))

This works when I do something like:

(minibuffer-message (mapcar (function buffer-name) (buffer-list)))

However, the following line of code does not work:

(insert (mapcar (function buffer-name) (buffer-list)))

Q: Could this just be a noob mistake? Is there a better way of doing it?
