comments do not show line breaks when included in emails

When entering a comment in a user action submission, it lets you hit <enter> and put line breaks into the comment box of the submission.  However, when including that comment into an email notification in a workflow, the line breaks are not honored and it all shows up in one flow.  If you put in <br> in the comment, it actually does include a line break.

It seems like the line breaks should be captured and included in the html generated for an email notification.
