I believe it should be un-checked, letting the commenter opt-in, rather than having them receive un-wanted emails without realising what it is. Some other people wonder what the best route is, such as SEO expert, Rob, and Bobby at Bestest Blog. [...] […] One thing you have to decide about, is whether to leave the box checked, or un-checked.

Leave it unchecked by default. Sometimes when I see a box like that, I leave it unchecked. Sometimes I check it. It depends on how interested I am in the topic under discussion. Even if I don't check the box, I may still come back to take a look - but I wouldn't want my inbox clogging up with a lot of emails I didn't ask for. I agree with the majority here.

I don't even like email alerts about comments, I would much rather subscribe to that posts Comments RSS feed.

sometimes it takes a few impressions for someone to think ‘hey i wonder whats on that website now…’. obviously the person had something to say to you - thats a big step already since most blogs have a low comment/reads ratio (or thats the way it seems what i’ve seen)

when you reply to them, you want them to come back and see it, so they can reply to you..and then maybe theyll wanna see what you say again after that…its how you can get some repeat visitors

If people want to subscribe, they know where to go for it and if not, they can always ask. I hate spam and I think it would turn me off as well, like Colleen had said.

It works perfectly with threaded comments, too. http://www.u-g-h.com/index.php/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-plugin-comment-email-responder/ I’d also recommend Owen’s comment responder so that when YOU respond to a comment, your visitor knows you’ve acknowledged him/her.
