Recently active topics in Twitter tagged with email notification

Like many other people, I'm seeing an increase in new followers who are following hundreds or thousands of people in a short amount of time in an attempt to get people to follow them back. When I navigate to the new follower's page, it's pretty clear that the person is a "Spitter" (Spam + Twitter = Spitter) by just looking at their Followers / Following numbers - e.g. Following 5,082 but only 43 Followers. I am going through this exercise about five times a day and it's really starting to take the joy out of Twitter.

Please consider changing the New Follower e-mail notification so that the the Followers / Following metrics are included in the e-mail. Even better, can you add the Follow and Block buttons into the e-mail? This doesn't solve the spam problem but it would go a long ways towards minimizing the impact. Thanks!

In the last couple days, I've noticed my number of followers has increased from 70, to 72, to now 74. That's great!

In my settings, I have checked the box that says I want to be emailed when someone follows me. I have the correct address in my profile. Unfortunately, I seem to no longer be receiving these email updates. The last that I received was on Jan 12, but I know I've gotten new followers since then.

I'm not receiving email notification when i get new followers. yes I have the box checked under settings. The result is that I have to keep manually checking for the creepy obessive followers, not to mention people I actually want to follow me. Am I missing something?
