You shouldn't still be using the same email address as you did before MtGox was hacked.
What? I think you mean password...
No, I don't. Knowing which email address you use opens several more ways to get into the account. I got the same email on the old account, but I knew it had to be phishing because it's not the one I use for MtGox anymore.

I received the same e-mail.  Phishing attempt.  Lucky Chrome caught it.
