Well, there is either a value for the macro (exists) or the there is  
no value and it is null (doesn't exist), so, yes ;) If you include  
just the $MACRO$ in your e-mail then you'll only see the text when  
there is an Ack Comment.

If, however, your real goal is to include *other text* only if the  
macro has a value then no, you'd have to implement that logic in your  
notification script.
