author. I would vote for One group

notifying the comment author instead [https://github.com/WordPress

> That doesn't seem right. Thanks for the reference to the spot in code
where it's happening.
> I've been digging further, and it’s emailing the **post author**, not
the comment author.

> The problem is this copy "Email me whenever anyone posts a comment" is
ambiguous.

> Who is me?

> This two checkers should not be grouped. They should be individual.
>
> There are two options
>
> === Two groups:
> {{{
> Email the post author whenever [ ] Anyone posts a comment
> Email the admins whenever [ ] A comment is held for moderation
> }}}
> === One group:
> {{{
> Comment Email notifications [ ] Email the post author whenever anyone
posts a comment
> [ ] Email the admins whenever a comment is
held for moderation
> }}}
> @sabernhardt you are the UI expert, which looks better to you?
