I'm not sure, but i think the syntax for retrieving the current users email address should be: meta=userinfo and uiprop=email - for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=email . (doesn't work yet as api isn't at revision yet that included the feature). Bawolff ( talk) 01:40, 4 March 2009 (UTC) reply
