Text field comparison involving new line characters

I have a text field that stores a chunk of text that contains some new lines as well. I am unable to do a succesful comparison of that field with provided string.

For example I have the following situation:

CREATE TABLE table1
(
  id int4 NOT NULL,
  message text,
);

In that table there is a record where:
id=1
message=SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
436 AM EDT FRI APR 14 2006
NCZ001>006-018>020-VAZ007-009>020-022>024-032>035-043>047-058-059-
WVZ042>045-141600

I want to find all the ids that have that particular message. So I execute the following query:

SELECT id FROM table1 WHERE message = 'SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
436 AM EDT FRI APR 14 2006
NCZ001>006-018>020-VAZ007-009>020-022>024-032>035-043>047-058-059-
WVZ042>045-141600'

However this returns no records. Why is this the case, and how should I compare this message to get a match on the id?

Thanks.
