Is @Mention necessary when replying to someone in a comment?

When REPLYING to a Comment, and you want to ensure that the person whose comment you're replying to is notified, is it necessary to @mention them in the reply, or, in all replies does Confluence automatically notify all parties @mentioned in the original, upstream comment(s)?

If the person is watching the page then they will be notified.  Otherwise to be safe an @mention is the best way to ensure that they get a notification.
