I meant what I see, which is the latter. Isn't that what you see? Automatic filling would be inappropriate, as the echo area can contain stuff that is not just natural-language words, and it is impossible to know where to insert newlines appropriately. It might be inappropriate, for instance, to insert a newline in the middle of a string echoed as part of a message - e.g. `String: "foo bar"'.
