Line breaks not respected on sendmessage screen for previous message

[Kristina Hoeppner]

When a user sent you a message, you typically click the link in the email to reply. That'll take you to https://DOMAIN/module/multirecipientnotification/sendmessage.php?replyto=IDOFMESSAGE&returnto=inbox

On that screen, you see the message from the user. When they used line / paragraph breaks, they are not visible though making it hard to read the message (see screenshot message_reply.png).

However, when you view the message in your Mahara inbox, it shows the line breaks correctly (see screenshot message_inbox.png).

When a user replies to a message, they should see the line breaks as well.

The original message when viewed on the reply screen on sendmessage.php does not respect line breaks, which is not good.

This is what it should look like instead.
