Comment:

 In spite of the plug-in solution above, I think it bears explaining *why*
 this was a useful feature to start with, since many people don't seem to
 understand. The first email gets sent from wordpress at yoursite.com, while
 the second gets sent with the commenter's email in the from and reply-to
 fields. There are many instances in which you would want to reply to a
 person without posting your reply on the site itself. Since Wordpress
 doesn't include reply-by-email functionality into its comments interface,
 this was the closest thing you could get to being able to reply to a
 person quickly without posting the reply on the site.

 Its removal makes a LOT more work for people who only reply by email
 rather than on the site itself, because they have to repeatedly
 select/copy/paste each commenter's email address from the body of the
 message into the "To" field in their replay. For people who have to deal
 with hundreds of comments a day and choose to reply to them via email,
 this is now a big pain in the butt.

 It's great that there's a plugin that fixes it now. But due to the reasons
 above, this is something that should be considered broken, and should be
 fixed in my opinion. However, I'm not a developer so I won't reopen the
 issue.
