The paragraph / carriage return spaces don’t seem to be preserved in form field textarea and it’s stripped away when the form result is emailed to us.

Is there a way to set textarea to preserve it and email the paragraph exactly the way it was typed in textarea box and submitted?

Thank you  
Bill
