I think this is just an artefact of "puts" and not relevant for the initial
problem.

If the original posters wants to have it in an e-mail, he will probably will
want to interpolate in a template. Using simply the @hosts as is suggested
above will then yield this:

$ ruby <<EOF
@hosts = ["test1", "test2", "test3", "test4"]
puts "#{@hosts}"
> EOF
test1test2test3test4

I think the OP probably needed to use 'map' instead of 'each'.

 pev@pev-desktop:~/a$ ruby <<EOF
@hosts = ["test1", "test2", "test3", "test4"]
hosts_string = @hosts.join("\n")
> puts hosts_string
> EOF
test1
test2
test3
test4

HTH,

Peter
