When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

When a user posts a question, you save it to a DB together with the user ID (and probably a timestamp, a subject, a question ID, and related data).
When a user answers a question, you know what question he answered (or you can't "attach" the reply to the question) so you have the DB row for the question, which includes all the info you stored. So access it, retrieve the original user ID, and use that to fetch the user email address. From there it's trivial to send the email in the usual way.
