Comment notification hack

I find it irritating that each time I reply to someone’s comment on this site I receive an email notifying me that I’ve posted a comment. I like getting the notifications when someone else comments, just not when I comment.

So I opened up the MT source code and fixed it. Now when I add a comment, I don’t get the email.

Open lib/MT/App/Comments.pm and find the line that says MT::Mail->send(\%head, <<BODY);. (It’s line 123 in MT 2.21) Change it to read MT::Mail->send(\%head, <<BODY) unless $author->email eq $comment->email;

Now the author of a post won’t receive a comment notification if the commenter’s email is the same as the author’s.
