This is a client side issue... Outlook can be configured to wrap lines
but doesn't by default.

Try (nicely) asking people to reconfigure their clients; alternatively,
you could pipe the body of messages to the list through some sort of
formatting program (par or fmt might work)... this could have some
unintended side effects, however.
