When the method in question is expecting a String and not a Symbol (as
in, its most likely not calling to_s in the argument in question). I
don't know what shnView view is returning, nor what sort of input its
return value's "label" method is expecting, but why not just pass
"email" to it? Alternatively, yeah, post this (possibly on the Rails
list) with more relatively info.
