   Hello

   Based on the mailing-list plugin which has a subscription page at the root level of the blog, I'm trying to automatically include the email of a user that is already logged-in. (As its a bother typing in an email address when you are already logged-in)
   So when the user goes to the subscribe.php page, their email is already displayed in the subscription box

   The code snippet is:

   
<input class="subscribe" name="email" type="text" id="email" />


   I've tried adding either:
   value="<?php echo $user_email ?>"
   or
   value="<?php echo (the_author_email()); ?>"

   but nothing shows up.

   Any help would be appreciated - thanks

   In case anyone else finds this useful, I figured it out (I think) with help from function ref info in the docs

   Used:
   <?php global $userdata; get_currentuserinfo(); ?>

   And for
   
value="<?php echo($userdata->user_email) ?>"

   Hmm...after some testing, there seems to be a problem with the value (email address) being 'remembered' when trying to subscribe a different email address.

   Maybe a set cookie statement?
