Text Multiline Cannot be used for notification triggers?

I have a proposal review system that is set to notify people when the status changes on the proposal to flag them it is ready for their review.....

However, I want to also send an email if the comments area changes (i.e. someone asks a question).  but, unless I am missing something, I cannot use a text multi-line (with logging) field as a trigger for additional criteria in a notification?

Any ideas how to get around this?  I had it on a blanket when modified setting and it was firing off WAY too many emails quickly.

    Why do you feel that that type of field cannot be used to fire a notification?

      It does not appear on the list of available fields in additional criteria

        It should appear. One thing I find is that if I have a lot of fields, I think they are in alphabetical (or some convenient order), but then I find my field randomly placed in a spot I wasn't looking. Carefully look at all the fields, particularly towards the end of the list or in a spot you wouldn't expect it. It should be there.

        If not, then something else is going on, as my multi line fields do appear.
