You would only get one email in that case.

I changed it now... you will not get the checkbox if you are the
reporter.

Background info:
This was considered a feature in upstream Bugzilla. Allows someone to
disable the emails when they are the reporter. Then that person could
add themselves manually to the CC list for the bugs they would want to
receive bugmail. This can used as a workaround if you reported a few
crashers which receive loads of duplicates.

Within a few months I hope to add a bugmail preference whether people
want to receive duplicate notifications. So this feature wouldn't be
needed anymore anyway.
