How to include git changelog in Jenkins emails?

Is there any way to import the changelog that is generated by Jenkins to the subject of an email (either through the default email, or the email-ext plugin)?

I am new to Jenkins configuration, so I apologize if this is a simple issue, but I was not able to find anything on the email-ext documentation.

I configured my Email-ext plug-in to use the CHANGES Token (official documentation here):

Changes:
${CHANGES, showPaths=true, format="%a: %r %p \n--\"%m\"", pathFormat="\n\t- %p"}

That prints the following in my build notifications:

Changes:
Username: 123
    - Project/Filename1.m
    - Project/Filename2.m
    -- "My log message"

For HTML messages, I placed the same code within a div and added formatting:

<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-bottom: 15px;">
${CHANGES, showPaths=true, format="<div><b>%a</b>: %r %p </div><div style=\"padding-left:30px;\"> &#8212; &#8220;<em>%m</em>&#8221;</div>", pathFormat="</div><div style=\"padding-left:30px;\">%p"}
</div>

Here's a sample screenshot of how it looks in the e-mails sent out by Jenkins now (this particular commit came from Subversion, but it works exactly the same for Git and other version control systems):
