A couple of us have been working on various versions of this. Mine is coming along I think. So far, you throw one cgi script in the MT directory, and change the comments posting script to point to it. Otherwise, you can leave your current subscribe-to-comments code right where it is. This script post-processes the comment - that is, only after the comment succeeds in being posted is the subscription handled. It uses the MT Perl API, so is more secure than the other and should work with Jay's plugin. Give me another week or so if the day job doesn't interfere, and we'll see if it's worth beta testing.

If you haven't heard from anyone eles on this, send me an email about what you have in mind, and I will try to work up a prototype plugin, or whatever ...

(optionally, 2 tables, one with id and email and another with id (from the other table) and post_id - slightly more structural but a bit more work, too) When people tick "Subscribe", add the post to the user (email, that is). Make a PHP file that is called with rss-comments.php?email=my@email.com that contains the newest comments that me@email.com email has subscribed to. (For example by using the great FeedCreator.class.php (http://www.bitfolge.de/?l=en&s=rsscreator)) People won't have to change / add RSS files all the time, and everyone is happy (RSS is more practical than email, anyway) It's, of course, slightly open to abuse as people can enter others email addresses, but no more than it is today.
