The following show the message "something" in the echo area immediately, and this message remains there unless I do a second action (e.g. moving the cursor, executing anther command etc)
(message "something")
I would like that the message to not appear immediately, but after a delay of few second (say 2 seconds) and to automatically disappear after few second (say 3 second). Is this possible?
To be precise I would like that in the first delay of 2 seconds, I would able to see other system messages (if any).
(current-message)
and view it afterwards via(message ...)

and got into that trap. Nevertheless, the other part of the comment about(current-message)
is worth to think about. – Tobias Oct 29 '16 at 18:44
