This is where the munging happens -- the HTML textarea tag supports three different input specifications regarding the presentation of carriage returns. The default varies by browser. Get an HTML reference and check the tag for the attribute "wrap". You probably want wrap="physical" whereas you are probably either using wrap="virtual" or else it is your browser's default (best not to leave that to chance anyway). So the database probably never saw the original formatting. At least this seems most likely to me.
