Holger is correct - the email reports the cumulative number of hosts skipped over the last 24 hours.
If you look in the main LOG file you should see timestamped messages for each wakeup, like this: Disk too full (XX%); skipped YY hosts Based on the email message, you should see several of those messages (likely 4 as Holger suggests with 39 hosts each) over the last 24 hours.
