[wp-hackers] Comment Notification Emails

[Mike Schinkel]

+1 to adding direct links to comments. Following the Thesis discussion on several WordPress blogs really reminded me of this.

As for the comment id structure, wp_list_comments() could optionally add them for new blogs.  I think it could be handled in a backward compatible manner.
