$templateFile = $pObj->conf['tx_commentsemail_templateFile'];
if (!$templateFile) {
	$templateFile = 'EXT:comments_email/res/email.txt';
}
$templateCode = $pObj->cObj->fileResource($templateCode);

isset($pObj->conf['tx_commentsemail_templateFile'])

fileResource will return you empty string if there is no file.
