$BUILD_USER not expanded in Jenkins email notification

Question

We use Email Notification plugin as the last build step. When the build is started manually in Jenkins, the $BUILD_USER will expanded properly and show the user name who starts the build. But when the build is triggered automatically by a new commit in GitHub, it shows like this? How can I fix this?

Build Status : Fixed Build Cause : MANUALTRIGGER Build user : $BUILD_USER Build User ID: $BUILD_USER_ID Build Number : 57 Build Id : 57

Check if this answer helps you out. Reason is, on non-git-triggered builds these vars dont get populated. — dge

The variable wasn't there by default, it requires a new plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+User+Vars+Plugin
