multi line text field variable adding to notification with formating

[Bidduam]

I have a variable that is a multi line text field.

When someone enters text into it, that they have formatted into separate lines eg: 

This is my text line 1.

This is my second line.

The third line.

When that gets passed into a notification for instance, it loses all formatting and gets added as a single line, such as:

This is my text line 1.This is my second line.The third line.

Any ideas of how to make it appear as separate lines?

Anyone else?

The only tags in the HTML editor appear to be standard <p> and </p> 

So nothing that would really be able to be used.
