• Cleaner comment notification emails.
• The option to enforce a comment policy.
• The option to forward comments to an email address (for instance for your support team) and then trash them.
• The option to disallow comments below a certain length.
• The option to redirect first time commenters to a "thank you" page.
• An input field on the comment edit screen to change the comment parent ID.
• Links in the admin comments section to email individual commenters.
• A button in the WP toolbar to email all the commenters on a post.
