I don't know whether it is supposed to work like that or not. However, IMHO, I think instant notifications of each reply post in a thread could become quite annoying.
For example, in the Server forum, if you start a new thread at 2AM saying that the server will be rebooted at 8AM, I want to know about it. But then if many of us start replying to the thread throughout the night asking this or that, I don't necessarily want to be notified about the new replies... especially if we reply with "Ok" or "Thanks for telling us" etc etc.
I think we should be able to make the choice to subscribe to the thread. I guess we could just unsubscribe to the thread after it has been automatically subscribed to as well. Only problem with this is that if you happen to be away and don't catch the new thread, you will have many emails about the thread when you finally get to it. Also if you have such a setup, your PC or mobile will be beeping all night long.
