How are you showing it?  If you stick it into a table cell, it'll be
automatically word-wrapped.  If you want to show it in an editable form,
put it in a textarea box - that should (your browser may vary) use the
newlines in your text (if there are any).

Alternatively, if you want to show the text inline then you could either
put it within <PRE> tags or run it through the PHP nl2br function, which
handily translates all your newlines into breaks.
