strange blob output

["D Woods" <debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm new to mysql, so there may be a simple explanation of this that I'm not
aware of. I have a field set to type blob. When viewing this field within
the database, the correct text that has been inserted appears. When I pull
it into a page within <CFOUTPUT> tags, I get a string of odd alphanumeric
characters. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
