Eventually you can show contents of this field using <PRE> </PRE> tags -
it's specially useful in situation like this:
 - in <TEXTAREA> you enter text like
MSG A
  MSG B <- note two [spaces] here
    MSG C <- here are four [spaces]
 - when you show it in html document you see exactly the same thing.
