Currently you don't see the whole message anyways if the box is too small
for the text. I find that quite annoying, especially since there are neither
keys nor a scrollbar to scroll horizontally.

And if you break the lines manually, it really doesn't make a difference.
Unless you "forget" to do so, which is unlikely, because the virtual wrap
will wrap per-character and not per-word.
