 I did a lot of research on why my wordpress blog did not send any mails
 when having moderated a comment after updating to WP 3.1.

 I described the problem at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-mails-
 are-not-being-sent

 The behaviour that I wanted to have is[[BR]]

 1) Someone posts a comment[[BR]]

 2) I get the request to moderate this comment (via mail)[[BR]]

 3) I moderate (approve) it[[BR]]

 4) I get a mail which says something like "There is a new comment on post
 ABC"[[BR]]


 After updating to WP 3.1 step 4 was missed and I didn't know why. Until i
 found the bug in wp-includes/pluggable.php


 {{{
 // The author moderated a comment on his own post
  if ( $post->post_author == get_current_user_id() )
  return false;
 }}}

 has to be replaced by


 {{{
 // The author moderated a comment on his own post
  //if ( $post->post_author == get_current_user_id() )
 //return false;
 }}}

 or simply to be removed.

 My proposal would be to introduce a new option in the wordpress options
 which allows the blog owner to choose how his blog should behave when a
 comment is approved.
