Hardly. You've just become one of the many on this list to obtain early
access to them. The private key is (presumably) still secure on
bossman.cs.hmc.edu, and the certificates that were attached to the
original message are all public. Not really all that much different than
if you had connected to https://bossman.cs.hmc.edu/ after the
certificate(s) had been installed (this assumes that the cert is intended
for HTTP over SSL/TLS).

If the certificates were private/sensitive data, do you think that the CA
would mail them in plaintext? :)
