Opportunity Description Carriage Returns don't Carry over to Emails

Updated 6.2 to 7.2b

In oppo_description a user used to be able to type in a description with carriage returns, like:

Here's item one
Here's item two
and here's item three

And when the email would go out, the text would show that. Instead the text in the email now reads:

Here's item oneHere's item twoand here's item three

How do I solve this issue?
