Email ext can accept e-mail body content from a variable. In combination with EnvInject one can make a very detailed e-mail with a good structure.

You can achieve this by doing the following:

At each step that you want to record ( for example at some possible warning message in a build, or after each important step ) - write something to the file in build workspace. You can start at the beginning of a build with example:

rm -f email_preparation.txt # remove the preious run e-mail file;
echo "Hi,<br><br> This is an automatic e-mail from Jenkins regarding foo.<br>" > email_preparation.txt

Then append something:

echo "There were some warning during compilation of project 'bar'" >> email_preparation.txt

After the build run read the file to a variable and inject it with EnvInject:

echo "MAIL="`cat ${WORKSPACE}/email_preparation.txt` > ${WORKSPACE}/env.txt

Finally, simply add ${MAIL} to e-mail body. Don't forget to make use of html formatting.
