Hello,

I m serializing an object so that I can send it by email easily.  
However my serailized object sometimes have a lot of quotes in it  
like :

"  
&nbsp; commentable\_type: BlogPage  
&nbsp; updated\_at: 2008-07-14 19:55:03  
&nbsp; title: “”  
&nbsp; rating\_total: “-3”  
&nbsp; id: “2”  
&nbsp; commentable\_id: “24”  
&nbsp; rating\_avg: “-3.00”  
&nbsp; rating\_count: “-3”  
&nbsp; user\_id: “8”  
"

How can I possibly remove these quotes.

Thanks in advance,

Joel
