 I´m not 100% sure if this is a bug...

 WP automatically adds the css class .bypostauthor when the author post a
 comment while he´s logged in.

 But if the author is logged off and filling in the same name & e-mail
 (that he´s using for his wp-account) into the commentform the class is not
 added.

 There is no query that compares the commentposters e-mail with the one of
 the author.

 So it´s difficult to make use of the bypostauthor-class to style comments
 because authors are not always logged in when they reply to a comment.

 Maybe there´s a way to include a query for this?
