Dear Jens,
Because maybe I was not very clear, I will state gain my question.
Both of the following commands fail to prevent the presence of the
NIntegrate::inum message.
Can you understand why?
lst={1/x,1/x^2};
Block[{Message}, NIntegrate[lst, {x, 1, 2}]]
\!\(NIntegrate::"inum" : "Integrand \!\({1\/x,
1\/x\^2}\) is not numerical at \!\({x}\) = {1.5`}."\)
NIntegrate[lst, {x, 1, 2}]
Block[{$Messages = {}}, NIntegrate[lst, {x, 1, 2}]]
\!\(NIntegrate::"inum" : "Integrand \!\({1\/x,
1\/x\^2}\) is not numerical at \!\({x}\) = {1.5`}."\)
NIntegrate[lst, {x, 1, 2}]
Thanks
