Before hnreplies, I was manually scanning my history for replies. It got fairly time consuming, and I didn't like the relationship I was forming with my comment scores, which I had to look at all the time. I've found that replies coming to my inbox is very different from reply notifications on the site. I'm not already in "browsing mode" and the email contains the full comment; at least half the time I don't bother clicking the link in the email. YMMV.
