Hello

Very strange

I get a member list @members = Member.find(:all)  
w debugger I can see that all atributes are there… (including  
attribute email)

format.html {} I can get a nice list with email address

format.xml {  
render :xml =\> @users  
}

give me an xml file WITHOUT the email address … WHY ?

thanks for your tips
