Tracey: That is a good idea. I just made a modification to the code.

I also tested to see if this modification will work in WordPress 2.5, and indeed it does.

How would you tweak this to prevent someone inserting a registered user’s email address instead of their own?

For example, my site uses gravatars but a user could ‘impersonate’ someone else if they know that person’s email, at which point the gravatar will display for a user who may not have made the comment.

Hope this makes sense!
