How do I write this IF statement?

    Right this is the slice of code that is used for my comments.

    <li>
   		<div class="meta">
   			<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='70',$default='<path_to_url>' ); ?>
   			<?php printf(__('<cite class="fn">%s</cite>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?>

        	</div><!-- /meta -->
   		<div class="shout">
			<?php comment_text() ?>
          </div>
	<?php
        }

    On the top <li> I want to add an IF statement to compare the author of the article to the comment author.

    I’ve tried adding

    <li <?php
				if (comment_author() == the_author())
				{
				echo " class=\"author\"";
				}
				?>>

    But all it does it output

    <li commentauthor theauthor>

    commentauthor would be the comments authors name and theauthor would be the authors name.

    Any help?

    I tried this

    <li<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == "myemail@example.com") { ?> class="authorcomment"<?php } ?>>

    Which works, but obviously that is a defined email. So I thought just change it to this.

    <li<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == the_author_email) { ?> class="authorcomment"<?php } ?>>

    But nothing?
