Multiplayer, you need to hit enter to see the chat log. Up and down will let you scroll through it. Singleplayer, there is no chat log (rather annoying from my perspective). If you host a terminal server, actual chat will redirect to that as well, though not world notices, and the autosave will occasionally flood your buffer if you have it set at default lengths.
