"Reply to post" email alert for subscribed thread - replied text in email itself?

I notice over at ls1tech.com, when you are subscribed to a thread, and someone replys, the reply alert emails include the actual text in the reply, instead of just telling you someone replied... I think that's extremely useful. It would save a crapload of server bandwith i would bet as well. Most people don't need to visit the forum after every single reply, so it would be nice to just see what someone said inside the replay alert. What do you guys think?

Re: email confirmation after reply from subscribed thread - replied text in email itself?

I would prefer the person to visit the site to read the message. I've got too many instances of people replying to those notifications themselves thinking they are replying back to the person - of course those come to me. Then I need to tell the people exactly what they have done. It is soo much easier for them to just come to the site and read the message.
