What tool(s) do the users use to access these reports? A terminal
emulator running ALL-IN-1 mail? If so, you may have limited success
by inserting the Escape sequence that causes terminals to switch to
132-column mode. However:
o This won't work on all terminal emulators. It would
work on the one I'm using right now from my Macintosh,
but wouldn't on another one that I frequently use.
o You can't tell what mode (80- or 132-column) that they
were in in the first place, so you can't unambiguously
switch them back to the correct mode. Also, aborting your
mail message in mid-output will leave them in 132-column
mode.
Maybe it would be better to find a way to kludge your output into
a real compound-document format like MS/Word, include the tiny-font
commands in the document, and then get your users to download
("Mail/foreign"?) the resulting Word document.

P.S.: <Esc>[?3h or <CSI>?3h enters 132-column mode;
<Esc>[?3l or <CSI>?3l exits 132-column mode.
