Hi if I understand what you want correctly, try this:
Before you save the text from the textarea do this:
<cfset Description = #ReplaceList(Description,
"#Chr(10)#,#Chr(10)##Chr(13)#", "<BR>,<P>")#>
This will let you display it out side a textarea nicely:
<output>#Description#</output>.
But if you brought it out into a textarea again all the <br> <p> will
show up. So what I did is use the aboved code again before I brought it
out into a <textarea> tag, but just change the position of the two
parameters:
<cfset Description = #ReplaceList(GetDetail.Description,"<BR>,<P>",
"#Chr(10)#,#Chr(10)##ChR(13)#")#>
It works for me and I hope it works for you too.

Sorry but you lost me on this:
This is the action page:
<cfoutput>
Consultants Email <br>#form.email#<br>
There preference <br>#form.choices#<br>
Feedback Information <br>#form.feedback#<br>
</cfoutput>
and the feedback is coming from the text area on the form, this whole
shabang gets email to someone, and all I am looking for is to keep
everything tidy. shall we say
THanks
