To answer your last question first, the reason is quite simple really. Some users don't want to be emailed (lots of clutter), but they do want to know which threads they've been involved in.
So, they can go to their UserCP and see all the threads with new replies anytime, but they don't need to get their inbox cluttered.
Personally I wouldn't want this feature, but yeah.
I understand that this isn't a "simple" modification (if vB had been designed differently it might be, but hey they did a better board than I ever would have), which is really why I'm asking for help. If I need to pay for it I can though.
