  I’ve tried to reply by email to comments. I don’t get the comment address, but only
  “WordPress.com” <(email visible only to moderators and staff)> when I click reply. It doesn’t post on the blog comment thread. What am I missing?

  Are the comments held for approval in your Dashboard?

  I think the problem was that I tried to reply to an unapproved comment from someone who had never commented before. I was able to reply through the email reply to people who had already been approved earlier. Thanks for your reply.

  Yes, those are just moderation notices, so you’ll actually need to approve the comment first.
