standard textarea doesn't have the ability to render HTML.
Remove the <textarea> from the cfmail and it'll work fine.
Also, you shouldn't be getting <BR> and <P> tags at all because I don't
see where you are converting the return chars to those tags... did you
leave that part out?
Finally, why are you ending the <textarea> tag with </xtextarea>? That
shouldn't work at all :)
