Description

It would be great to be able to read the entire message you're composing before sending. right now it scrolls horizontally as you compose. The tricky part I guess would be to distinguish it from M-enter. I've got some idea's: A new message created by M-enter adds a new ^ and $, an overflowing/line-wrapped message doesn't. for example:

^this is a message$
^this is another message by M-enter. this one is also too long
 to fit on one line and therefore wraps.$

Alternatively messages could wrap, unless you use M-enter

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the console client's message-composition and M-enter handling, then compare how wrapping and explicitly separated messages are represented. Done means a user can read the full message before sending while M-enter-created messages remain distinguishable.
