html_safe in ruby on rails not working

Question

I'm using ruby 2.0.0 This is my controller..

@mail_msg = @store_items.where(id: params[:button_id]).first.email_confirmation_text
p "-------------------------"
p @mail msg
p @mail_msg.html_safe

This is my console(terminal) output

"-------------------------"
"<p>You have purchased Spice It Up. Points have been redeemed from your main account.</p>"
"<p>You have purchased Spice It Up. Points have been redeemed from your main account.</p>"

And what im getting in my console is the same. I cant escape the html tags.

Update

I have this value in my view.. in my view page

<%= @mail_msg.html_safe %>

Still its not working..

Please help

should work in views where html is used. you are using html in controller? haven't seen that yet — Wally Ali, May 19 '14 at 05:25
If you are using html_safe in the controller as `@mail_msg.html_safe` then in views just give it as `<%= @mail_msg %>`.It will work. — Pavan, May 19 '14 at 05:32
You misunderstand what `html_safe` is for. It marks a string as "safe for inclusion in HTML" so that the template system won't HTML-encode it. — mu is too short, May 19 '14 at 05:51

I've never seen `strip_tags` anywhere.Can provide a `link` to support your answer? – Pavan May 19 '14 at 05:40

html_safe and raw work in views, use

<%= raw @mail_msg %>

or

<%= @mail_msg.html_safe %>
