The text field only has newlines (\n) not breaks.
For starters, in the text area tag, you need wrap="virtual":
<TEXTAREA name="mailingAddress" wrap="virtual" rows="6"
cols="40"></TEXTAREA>
Then instead of
print "$mailingAddress<br>";
try
print nl2br($mailingAddress)."<br>";
... which converts all new lines (\n) into breaks (<br />)
