I'm confused by this, though it sounds like a bug exists I'm not sure I understand it.
Alice and Bob example...
Alice creates a conversation, auto-follows it and sees the "email notification" box checked.
Bob replies to conversation.
Alice doesn't receive a notification.

This doesn't seem to be happening - its not checking the "email notification" box - despite my notification settings being set to email me "when I receive a new comment in a private message" on my profile.
