Comment notification emails are not being sent

[MtDewVirus]

The emails to notify of new comments are not being sent.

[MtDewVirus]

With ​http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2827, the following line was removed from function wp_notify_postauthor

$user = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE ID='$post->post_author' LIMIT 1");

This causes the next line to always return false because $user isn't set.
if ( == $user->user_email) return false; If there's no email to send the comment to
Comment notificatons will never be sent.

Just chiming in to say that I definitely tested this patch, and it definitely fixes the problem. Go go Gadget commit!
