Read this note from the eQSL FAQs,,,
The ADIF tag COMMENT is used for private comments about the QSO. We found out a
decade ago that people did NOT want those comments disclosed on their cards!
The ADIF tag QSLMSG is designed to be used for QSL Card Comments. That is the
one we display on the eQSL card.
Turns out JTAlert has both fields available and puts the comment in the qslmsg
field too (at least that's what it's doing for me right now...I think their may
be a bug).

Please note that there is an important difference between the COMMENT
and the QSLMSG fields: In the COMMENT field, there are the comments for
myself. In the QSLMSG field, there are the comments for my QSO partner.
Further, there is a NOTES field in the ADIF spec. There is only a little
difference between the COMMENT and the NOTES fields. COMMENT is defined
as an string field and NOTES is defined as an multi-line field. The
purpose is the same. In my opinion, NOTES should be declared as
depreciated, because the ADIF standard doesn't defines the concept of a
line.
Best wishes,
