Hello!

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to format the data being sent from a multiline text field to a PHP mailer script so that the new line character is preserved.

Currently, the following text, when entered into the flash message form, looks like this:

[INDENT][FONT=Courier New]“Hello,  
My name is Kaveh.  
What is yours?”[/FONT][/INDENT]

When the user clicks the submit button, and the data is sent to my email.php file, and subsequently sent to my email account, the message displays like this:

[INDENT][FONT=Courier New]“Hello,My name is Kaveh.What is yours?”[/FONT] [/INDENT]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
