I have a "customer description" text area field on my form which feeds through

What's FMP? Is that what links this email to the db-list?

the customer types, the text wraps. Many put their own hard returns and spaces in to
organize their description. It seems I can't get it to do both the wrap and show the
actual formatting entered. If I format the field as physical wrap, the lines run off
the page on the confirmation/printout. If I format it as virtual, then the hard
returns, etc get lost. I have also tried using <PRE> on the confirmation page
and email and that doesn't work either.
Line wrapping in a text area is a property of the text area, not of the
text, as opposite to line breaks and hard returns. This is why you won't
find line break characters at the place the text used to wrap in the
text area.

What you can do of course is to add a div (or whatever container you
feel like) of the same width / height as the text area to the
confirmation page and replace \l\r with br 's.
