Not necessarily old. Many of us use text-based mail readers, where
tradition and usability dictate line lengths of 72-80 characters. Also,
many mail user agents render text/plain without wrapping lines (or make
line wrapping optional).

> How can I make their life better and make the text wrap?

Yep. Investigate http://php.net/wordwrap:

> mail("info@xxxxxx", stripslashes($subject), stripslashes($message), 
> "Return-Path: <info@xxxxxx>\r\nFrom: \"[foo] foo\" <info@xxxxxx>\r\nbcc: 
> $bcc \r\nReply-To: info@xxxxxx \r\n"."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

Make "stripslashes($message)" into 
"wordwrap(stripslashes($message), 72)".
