   When receiving the email notification from the submitted form I noticed that the line breaks (in paragraph fields) do not display. However, looking at the actual data in the database the line breaks appear to be there. Is there a simple way to make these line breaks show in the email?

   I believe I have this solved - let me know if this is the best way to go about this:

   On line 341 of helper-functions.php you will find:

   $email_data[$i]['value'] = "
   ".htmlspecialchars($value,ENT_QUOTES)."
   ";

   Change it to:

   $email_data[$i]['value'] = "
   ".nl2br(htmlspecialchars($value,ENT_QUOTES))."
   ";

   Walla! now your emails from forms with texareas/paragraphs will have line breaks!
