The PROPFILE token is not evaluating in the Editable E-mail Notification for the e-mail-ext plugin.
For example, when I put this in the Default Content of the e-mail:
${PROPFILE,file="props.cfg",property="TESTING_VAR"}
The value of "TESTING_VAR" is not displayed in the e-mail. Instead, this is displayed:
${PROPFILE,file="props.cfg",property="TESTING_VAR"}
This PROPFILE token works when I put it in the "Set Build Name" field for the build-name-setter plugin.
So the build-name-setter plugin is able to consume the PROPFILE token, but the e-mail-ext plugin does not seem to be consuming it properly.
I am running Jenkins 1.480.2 with email-ext - 2.24.1.

added a comment - When I look at the "Content Token Reference" help for the email-ext plugin this appears:
<snippit from Content Token Reference>
Token Macro Plugin Tokens
${BUILD_NUMBER}
Expands to the current build number, a sequential auto-incrementing unique number that identifies the build, such as "125"
${ENV,var="VARIABLENAME"}
Expands to an environment variable (specified here as VARIABLENAME) from the build environment. Note that this does not include any variables set by the build scripts themselves, only those set by Jenkins and other plugins.
${PROPFILE,file="FILENAME",property="PROPERTYNAME"}
Expands to the value of a property in a property file. The filename is relative to the build workspace root.
<snippit from Content Token Reference>
It shows PROPFILE as a token-macro plugin token that can be used by the email-ext plugin. The other tokens listed above work (BUILD_NUMBER and ENV). As such, I figured that it could be used by the email-ext plugin.

added a comment - No worries. I'm using token-macro - 1.5.1. Looking at the release notes for the token-macro plugin, it "Added macro for retrieving properties from property files in the build workspace." in Version 1.3.

I added a specifically for this token, and it works for me in the test. This is with the 2.25 source code, so please upgrade and see if the issue is still there.

PROPFILE is not an email-ext token, so it won't be consumed.
