Agreed: I find this irritating too (and the default SYSTEMD_PAGER _is_
less so I'm not sure how it's being run).
Setting PIPE or piping to a pager is even worse - the lines are
truncated at 77 chars regardless of the term width so for now I'm
running journalctl --no-pager -a | less to get wrapped lines in a
pager.
Fixed in F18.
