This truncating feature can be controlled by setting the variable
'truncate-lines'. In my .emacs i define the following command:

(defun toggle-truncate ()
  (interactive)
  (setq truncate-lines (not truncate-lines)))

and bind it to a key sequence. Thus I can easily toggle between
truncated lines and wrapped lines. After toggling it is sometimes
necessary to force a redisplay by C-l to see the effects.

Hope that helps
