@Jules: Have you configured a message subject in the Options page ?
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.

This is great, but it throws an error in the Admin page for me when I click on the little envelope icon next a commenter’s name under “Latest Activity”, “Comments”.
Everything else is fine, just this one little problem.
What a great plug-in idea, congrats to both of you involved.

Thanks Owen, this is really nice! Is there a way to add a “subject” to the email I receive other than just the ” that it generates?

From what I can see, the DoFollow plugin I installed gives admin the ability to edit comments “on the fly”. Now, whenever I click on the commenter’s name, two little boxes open with their name and URL. (Just as an aside, I find this a little irritating, especially when I want to click directly to their blog.)
Anyway, the little envelope icon appears next to the commenter’s name. I assume this icon needs to be clicked on in order to arrange to send an email to the commenter. When I click on it, the boxes open up! It still registers the email requirement, but it means having to shut the boxes.
I’m hoping that I have completely misunderstood how to use this great little plug-in. Feel free to set me straight.
