Send email for approved comments once

Shouldn't this be the default behavior in WP?

Not really a bug, as the current behaviour could be useful in some cases (I.E. multiple people sharing a login/email.)

Could be added as an option I suppose...

Honestly, I doubt that sending an email would make sense in the use-case you mention. If I've an editor who uses my account, I probably don't care to receive an email when he approves a comment.

The case I was considering was

1. Email is sent to say comment is awaiting moderation (this goes to a list or shared mailbox)
2. Someone logs on to approve said comment.
3. A further mail is sent out, the other people on that list then know that they don't need to moderate that comment.

I'm not fussed either way. As I said, the idea has potential as an option.

The initial change for this was incorrect. The check should be explicitly for the post author user ID and the comment user ID. I've included a simple patch to make this change.

Currently in the case where the post author is moderating comments the current check always matches because it's looking at the current user.

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

very correct.
