That's a slightly different problem, one which has been discussed
recently on fedora-devel-list.  Short story seems to be that the email
is generated prematurely, when the package is approved to be pushed in
bodhi, but before it is actually signed and pushed to the mirrors.
This final sign-and-push is done by a human, and the humans involved
have been pretty busy trying to fix the Fedora 9 release blocker bugs.
