 Thanks, good catch. However I noticed the following things with your
 patch:

 * Indentation is wrong throughout the function.
 * `$author` isn't used anywhere
 * `$notify_author` isn't defined anywhere, which would lead to an error.

 [attachment:33717.4.diff 33717.4.diff] accommodates for that. Plus it
 fixes the one multi-line comment.

 > BTW we can use a better action i.e. `comment_unapproved_to_approved`
 action is defined in function  `wp_transition_comment_status` 1286
 comment-functions.php.

 I'd say the `transition_comment_status` hook can be more easily found and
 debugged as the dynamic `comment_{$old_status}_to_{$new_status}` hook.
 Also, does this work when the comment was previously trashed / mistakenly
 marked as spam but then approved?
