Hmm, no longer seems to work with WP 2.5. The icon doesn’t appear, and so therefore I can’t actually do what this plugin is for.
I don’t suppose you would know what the problem would be?
(Sorry no link - revamping my site).
Description
The Comment Email Responder v2 is based on the work of Andrew Flusche who can up with the original concept and wrote the first iteration of this plugin. It’s purpose is to provide an easy mechanism for a blog administrator to email a response to one of the comments placed on the website. The response becomes a comment in the normal way, but also fires off an email to the commentor with the content of the response and his original comment.
Installation
1. Download the plugin file, unzip and place it in your plugin folder.
This makes the plugin available to WordPress and it should now appear in your Plugin folder. The zip file also includes an icon for the plugin which should also be placed in the plugin folder.
2. Activate the plugin
This “starts up” the plugin. At this point, the plugin is active, but won’t work correctly till it is configured
3. Configure the plugin
The plugin can be configured both from a new panel in the Options menu called Comment Email Responder. Please go to this panel and supply the required information.
Usage
Once the plugin has been activated you’ll notice a new icon appearing next to commenter names on your posts. Click on this icon to respond to the comment. When you save the comment, a copy will be emailed to the person who left the comment.
Download
Comments/Bugs
- The plugin behaves well with the Subscribe-to-comments plugin and won’t email someone who’s already subscribed to the comment thread.
- The plugin assumes the existence of the “comment_form” action which is optional for template creators. If this is missing in your template, please add it accordingly.
- The plugin assumes that your admin user is set to wp_user_level 10. While this is true in most cases, some WordPress installations mess this up. If the plugin doesn’t seem to work, check out the fix on Cynthia’s blog.
History
v1.0: Base release. Implementation by Andrew Flusche
v2.0: New version. Admin interface added and automatic insertion into template on activation
v2.1: Minor bug fixes
v2.21: Another couple of minor bug fixes
v2.3: Email now contains link to post together with a specified footer

I love it when people use my work, so if you do, drop me a comment. I’d love to pop around and have a look at your blog.

Hi! I was using this plugin just fine until someone told me that IE couldn’t open the webpage: abort abort blah blah blah…
I think it’s the use of innerHTML in the javascript. Anyone else run into this?

I’ve been using this plugin for a wee while now and I think it’s absolutely BRILLIANT. It always used to be such a pain emailing commenters back before - it was double the work because you had to write a reply comment on your own site, then copy and paste the same comment into an email and send it to the commenter. LOVE it - thank you so much!

Very handy plugin! Friends and I wondered for a long time as to how we could email and respond in a blog post in one step –Comment Email Responder works nicely.
Oddly, I cannot remember how I found your plugin (Google, perhaps?) –have you considered submitting it to the WordPress plugin repository? (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/) It’d be great to make this tool more known amongst WordPress users.
Btw, really like the header image of the Lakes District. Went there this past autumn. Lovely walks!

Owen,
I want to love this plugin. 
However, both the envelope image and the envelope function do not work for me. I’ve tried using this in conjunction with (and without) Better Comments Manager & Brian’s Threaded Comments. Same results. Suggestions are welcome, I think it’s a great plugin & hope to use it!

Hi owen. Love your plug-in but I am finding there is some sort of issues either with 2.3.2 or other plug-ins that I have ( WP polls and ajax edit comments.) I don’t know if it is “js” issue or not. When your plug-in is installed with the rest I can’t get past post.php when I try and save. I have to load a billion times.

Hi Owen,
I use this plugin on sewingmom.com and it works great thanks to you! I”ve just installed it on my new site and I have the envelope icon but nothing happens when I click it. I have read through all these comments and checked everything I knew how to check. The only thing I don’t can’t figure out is if my admin is user level 10. Any suggestions?

Hi! Nice plugin!
But, sometimes, I receive HTTP 500 pages when I use it. Although I don’t ever receive them when I post without this plugin.
Can you suggest some action to avoid these errors when using your plugin?

Hi!
I’ve used and loved your plugin for a while now! However i converted my wp database from latin1 to utf-8 yesterday and now when using your plugin, the å ä and ö in the swedish language turns to funny looking characters. Is there anything I can add to the plugin in order to send the encoding correctly?
TIA!
