Formatting the Product Description

Hi there,

On the product listing page, I wanted the product description to appear as it does on the product info page, namely, a bulleted list. It looks like the html has been stripped out, and now it's just one lumped together paragraph. How can I keep the bullets on the listing page?

Thanks.
