I'm creating a report to show the email archives, but I can't get the body to display because it's a data type of BLOB.  Does anyone know how to get a BLOB to display in a report?

I was able to get this to work using the following in the select statment of my query:

to_char(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(body,
2000,1)))  body
