<body>
<h2>Send Message</h2>
<form action="send.php" method="post" enctype="text">
<label for="text"><h3>To:</label>
<input type="text" name="to" id="to" />
<label for="text"><h3>Subject:</label>

The code above is simply the form...not the code that processes the text. Can you post the code from send.php? there is likely a breakdown betwen what is being interpreted as a new line between \n and <br>.

THE CODE For send.php
<?php
require 'userinfo.php';

require 'MESN.php';

echo '<hr />';

if($logged_in == 1) {

$to = $_POST['to'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
mysql_query("insert into messages
(viewers, subject, sender, message) values
(\"$to\",\"$subject\",\"$username\",\"$message\")") or die(mysql_error());
echo('<h3>' . $username . " Your Message Was Sent!</h3>");
echo('The Following Message Was Sent To ' . $to . '<br />' . $_POST['message']);
echo('</body>');
echo('</html>');
} else {
echo('<head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/master.css"></head>');
echo('<h3>You Must Be Logged In To Access This Page!</h3>');
echo('</body>');
echo('</html>');
}
?>


AND HERE IS THE CODE FOR THE VIEWER read.php
<?php
require 'userinfo.php';

require 'MESN.php';

echo '<hr />';

if($logged_in == 1) 
{
$MTM = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages " . "WHERE viewers=" . "'" . $username . "'" . " OR viewers='everyone'");
echo('<h2>Your Madtast Messages!</h2>');
echo "<hr />";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($MTM))
  {
	echo('<table border="1" width="600" height="200"><tbody><tr><td>');
  echo ("<h3>" . "Sender: " . $row['sender'] . "<br />" . "Subject: " . $row['subject'] . "<br />" . "" . $row['message'] . "</h3>");
  echo("</td></tr></tbody></table><hr />");
  }
 
echo "<hr />";
mysql_close($con);
}
else { echo("<h2>You Must Be Logged In To Access This Page!</h2>"); }
echo('</body>
<html>');
?>

Try something like:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($MTM))
  {
   $message = str_replace("\n","<br>",$row['message']);
	echo('<table border="1" width="600" height="200"><tbody><tr><td>');
  echo ("<h3>" . "Sender: " . $row['sender'] . "<br />" . "Subject: " . $row['subject'] . "<br />" . "" . $message . "</h3>");
  echo("</td></tr></tbody></table><hr />");
  }
