Include Line breaks in Textarea box

[....hooligan]

I have a few textarea boxes on a form that i input info into and then click
send and it then adds itself to a html page and sends its self to my email.
Now if i use a line break in the box before the end of the line i want that
to be included in the output. How would i do that?

[rob::db]

There was just a discussion about this on here a few days ago.

Yeah, that's what I recommended. If you're using PHP, you should considering
using autop from [url]http://photomatt.net/scripts/autop[/url], as it's a lot more
powerful and just as simple to use.
