Description

When a message is assigned a hash content, the Ruby code attempts to convert the aspects to strings. However, if a value stored in a hash is itself a hash, rather than deep diving into that hash to convert its constituents, the hash is converted to a string.

Instead, the system should only look for elements that are symbols and convert those to strings. And it should take non-scalar types and look at their individual components and fix them as well.
