 * Hi, Yes I am using a different plugin to auto subscribe the person who comments
   on the post. But this would not send an email to someone subscribed to a category.
 * A button on a web page starts a new post in a specific category. This new post
   just says “ask your question” and then the person who clicked the button can 
   ask a question. Once that happens both parties are subscribed. However, the person
   subscribed to the category receives two emails. A notification about the new 
   post and a notification about the reply.
 * Maybe there is a different way to handle this but I have yet to find it.
 * If I knew how to pull out the value of “comment_count” I think I can block that
   first email.
 * Thanks
    -Ben
