Not within nagios that I know of. There are two points of possible  
action that I see. The first, as you've already discovered, is to  
modify the way that it's checked and add the logic there. The second  
is to add the logic to your notifications. The notification program  
can be anything at all. You could easily create your own notification  
script to act as a wrapper to /bin/mail that filters out those things  
that shouldn't really generate an alert.
