I quite like it where blogs give the option to reply via email – they're often static sites that have no comment feature.

I wonder about adding that to (b)log-In but equally wonder/worry about how. It would make sense to have an envelope icon next to the comment toggle but that might make things too cramped at the start of a post.

At the end? I think it would look awkward and I wouldn't want the scenario where a post finishes at the end of a line and the icon rolls over to be on a line of its own.

I could have a link after the post but, for aesthetic purposes, it would have to be included with the comment form so not visible from the main page. If implemented, I would like it to be accessible without having to expand the comment section.

More thought required. Maybe I'll throw it in and see how it looks. Would it be worthwhile? Would some prefer replying via email to leaving a public comment?
