I forgot the name of the module. I remember there are more than one choice. What I need is one that allow both anonymous/auth'ed user to check they want to be notified via email of new comment to their thread or any thread they are interested in no matter they have reply or not.
Thanks!

comment_notify is
more of what I was looking for. However, if they were combined would be perfect.
Thanks!

afaik, comment_notify and watcher are the only two modules that account for anonymous users.
I am using both and they seem to be working together fine
watcher for node
comment_notify for comment
_
just out of curiosity -- why both?
because
watcher only notifies node update (I think)
and I want the user to be notified of new comment, too.
So I add comment_notify to watcher and have both.
Click the link below to see it in action.

i looked into a similar thing, but since my pages don't change that much, i decided watcher was excessive and just went with comment_notify, which, btw, doesn't not seem to be enabled on your site. i looked at 4-5 posts and didn't see on any, but watcher was visible on all.
fwiw, one thing i believe about comment_notify is that it doesn't work if you moderate comments. it looks like it is working, but doesn't actually send emails. didn't chase that down completely, but read that it was advisable to disable moderation and use mollom or other to enable immediate posting and so that's what i did. seems to work fine.
Permission was not on for anonymous
>comment_notify, which, btw, doesn't not seem to be enabled on your site
It should work now.
>doesn't work if you moderate comments
Good to know. I don't have moderation and use mollom.
...
yes, i see it now.
workflow ng
i think workflow ng will do.
You have to setup rules once this module is installed.
There are provisions for comparing users, content type etc.

For d6, which this thread is tagged, it would be the rules module.
Any example
to implement this with Rule? That's is notify both anonymous/auth'ed user of node update and comment reply with Rule.

I don't have any handy-- but it should be doable. You would need to setup rules for when content is saved and when a comment is saved and configure an action to fire off an email. In the case of comments you'd probably have to write a php comment to notify everyone who commented in the thread. If you wanted user to be able to opt in to this you could put fields in the users profile and then add conditions to your rules to check the values of those fields before firing off the action.
All and all watcher + comment_notify is much easier.
I was just replying to the comment above because workflow_ng is not available for d6.
