pass line breaks in text area input

Question

I have a textarea input on a form for users to submit their snail mail address.
This is the code I have <textarea name="Mail" rows="4" ></textarea> I would like for the line breaks in the text area to be passed in the POST data so that the address will appear properly in the code echo $_POST['Mail'];
