Rails - Jun 2007 - odd behavior with acts_as_authenticated

following the instructions on
 http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Acts_as_authenticated

I got it all working, except I can''t see how to make my currently
logged in user''s info appear on the /account/index page.

I replaced the poem that comes default from the generator in /account/
index.rhtml with:

<h1>User home page.</h1>

<% if logged_in? %>
	you are logged in
	<br>
	your email: <% current_user.email %>
	<br>
		your login: <% current_user.login %>
	<% else %>
   you are not logged in
	<% end %>


This WORKS to show me if the user is logged in or now (so I guess the
logged_in? is ok), but for some reason <% current_user.email %> and <%
current_user.login %> both come out blank even though I can see data
in the database for the currently logged in user.

Maybe I got the syntax wrong or something? Wondering how to make this
work. thanks.

Use <%= if you want to actually output the data.  This has nothing to
do with acts_as_authenticated.
