If you have a UNIX system take a look at the fmt command.
On Solaris I modified the mail aliases as follows (in /etc/aliases):

testlist:      "|LC_CTYPE=en_US fmt -s -w 80|/export/home1/mailman/mail/mailman post 
testlist"

LC_CTYPE may be needed for the correct treatment of Umlauts and other special 
characters.
Without the variable those were simply erased by fmt.
