title: <br> stored in mysql field but no line break when echo
body: <p>I am storing data in a field named <code>message</code>. An example of this field is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  
  shane!
  
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  
  ****** Original Message ******
  
  Test Back
  
  
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  
  
  ****** Original Message ******
  
  test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I <code>echo</code> this into a <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> field, it is displayed as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>shane! ****** Original Message ****** Test Back ****** 
  Original Message ****** test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I <code>echo</code> this to include the line breaks?</p>
