Justus,   thanks for this quick patch!  I applied it to my templating.py and tested it with my tracker.  The text still appeared in one long line for the user who only had view rights to the field.  I think this is because (as you so  mention earlier) that the text is displayed in <pre></pre> tags instead of in a text area.  The wrap keyword argument I think only applies to the textarea.  Would it be possible to return the text in a text area?

Thank you,
Tonu
