It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    I've updated the issue title and description to reflect this feature request and that this needs a decision on whether this feature is appropriate for this module.

    My two cents is that it is not. The stated purpose of this module is, "Comment Notify is a lightweight tool to send notification e-mails to visitors about new, published comments on pages where they have commented."

    The scope of this module has already expanded to also include authors being notified of comments on their content.

    There is already an alternative module, Simple Comment Notify which provides this functionality.

    I think that's enough discussion and agreement - this is a useful feature for other modules.

    Thanks for your thoughts, cedewey.
