[Zope] carriage returns and newlines entered into HTML form inputs

[Dennis Allison]

The carriage returns are probably there, it's just that you cannot see
them. When you display the information try

<dtml-var mailingaddress newline_to_br>

which will convert the newlines in the text to '<br>' markup, the HTML
equivalent of a carriage return.
