It's not only whether keys are available but also terminal size.
Personally I find default (lack of) line wrapping quite annoying - I'm
still have to use small notebook with relatively tiny terminal size and
default behavior means permanent scrolling right and left to see
message itself and its timestamp (or origin) etc.

I think line wrapping by default is really more user friendly - with
small terminal it allows you to use whole message at once and with
large terminal most lines probably fit in the width anyway so there will
be no difference.
