Multiple order comment lines appear as single line in email

Version 2.0.3.1

Although my customers enter requested details on separate lines of the Payment Methods comments field in the Checkout, those details appear as a single line in the Instructions box of the new order email I receive.

Can I modify the code so the new order email shows the details on separate lines just as the customer has entered them in the Checkout?

Thanks in anticipation of any suggestions.

A quick and dirty fix would be to change somewhere near line 48 in the file
/catalog/view/theme/default/template/mail/order.tpl

from

<?php echo $comment; ?>

to

<?php echo nl2br($comment); ?>

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion.

May be "quick and dirty", but works perfectly for me.

Thanks,

Bryon
