Description
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?

I'm not even convinced this is actually a bug. Allowing just anyone to put in "admin" and "admins email" and then leave comments that are essentially marked as being from that person is not a great idea.
Rather as the other ticket said they should have to log in, to gain such recognition.
Recommend closing this as i'm-not-sure-what.
