How to preserve newlines in text area submitted for email message?

I'm sending an email through my rails app with the message in the email being entered by the user into a text_area. For some reason though when I receive the email message, the newlines are missing. How can I get those back when rendering the email template?

Here's the whole of my email template:

<html>
  <head>
    <meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type' />
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      <%= @message %>
    </p>

  </body>
</html>

Try to use simple_format(@var).
