Why are Jenkins “extended emails” not including extended information?

Question

We installed email-ext 2.24.1 into Jenkins 1.447. We set \"Extended Email Notification\" \"Default Content\" to

$PROJECT_NAME - Build # $BUILD_NUMBER - $

In the job configuration page, go to the Editable Email Notification section. At the bottom of this section you can add triggers via a dropdown box you get after you've clicked on the Advanced... button. When I first configured the email notifications, there was no trigger defined, and no email was sent out.

If you always want an email sent out, use the Before build trigger. Then add a checkbox to determine the recipients of the email for this trigger. If you want all email addresses in $DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS, then click the checkbox at Send To Recipient List.
