Whenever the integrand in NIntegrate generates messages (by calling Message), the output of these messages are suppressed, although they are still generated in the sense that they can be caught using Check. Does anyone know how NIntegrate does this? Here is an example in which evaluating f at a number always generates a message, but no messages are displayed when f is called (many times) by NIntegrate (if you like I can also supply an example that shows that the suppressed messages can still be caught by calls to Check): f::err = "error"; f[x_?NumericQ] := ( Message[f::err]; x ) NIntegrate[f[x], {x, 0, 1}]
