This version does not support that feature, it can be a new feature request.

If I try to add such a feature, I'll have to add a new bool type column in posts table, then need to mod submit_post in includes/functions_posting.php, in case that topic has any guest post with notification request. I can't promise anything, but I'll consider your request.

No. If guest will receive email notification in a topic, it can be a problem to controll: unsubcribe and stop the notification if user doesn't visit the board. Also, it is difficult to track if user visited the board after first notification. So, I am tended not to include any guest notification, because that would need too much time and mod will become complicated beyond its original purpose.

Seeing the title of this mod I had great hope ... really why add the email field for the guest if it is not to receive notification :?

But admitted that if this option exists in phpbb - although it is complicated to set up - would be a great option for phpbb: People ask questions on forum, and if they have no immediate response they leave forum and forget it quickly, even if a reply is posted they have no way of knowing about it if there are not notification :| ...

phpBB uses topics and forum watch tables for registered users' notifications. It is not possible to use those two tables for guests in this mod. Sending emails is considerably easy, but, tracking if users visited the board to stop second notification is difficult. I considered notification option, but, as I said, it is complicated and there are a few things (how to track guest visited to read the topic and how to unsubcribe easily etc), I don't know either.
