VB Code -> HTML
 

In my "email_notify" template I have "$message" so the text of the reply is included in the Notificition email. But the emails contains VB code like [url] [email]

All I really need need to know is how to strip Vbcode.

i'm not at home now, so i don't know which file you have to edit where the mail is generated, but if you know the file just before the line where is:
gettemplate("email_notify")...

add this line:
$message=bbcodeparse2($message,0,1,1,1);

See this hacks:

HTML Email Feature

and:

Send Part of User's Reply with Email Notification

Bye!!.. good luck
