There is an auto-subscribe option in your user control panel ('user cp' button above)

But it only works if you use the 'post reply' button at the end of a thread and not the quick reply text box...
(at the bottom right of the thread, 2 buttons: 'new thread' and 'post reply')

EDIT: thinking about this a little more: I might have misunderstood the suggestion. I understood it as: 'Email notification by default' (in user CP->edit options). If I'm wrong pleas elaborate...
So let's change the suggestion to:
Make auto-subscribe also work on 'quick replies' (or better yet, make it two seperate options)
