Email a commenter when someone replies to their comment, with an opt-in checkbox and a one-click unsubscribe link.

== Description ==

AddonLogic Reply Email Notifications adds a lightweight subscribe-to-replies workflow to any WordPress comment thread. An opt-in checkbox appears on the comment form; when a reply is approved, the original commenter receives a customisable email containing the reply excerpt, a direct link to the thread, and a signed unsubscribe URL.

**Features:**
* Opt-in checkbox on the comment form (configurable label, checked by default)
* Customisable email subject and body with template tags
* Configurable From name and From email
* One-click unsubscribe link with HMAC token validation
* No notifications sent to commenters who reply to themselves
* Works with threaded comments at any depth

== Installation ==
