   Check out the setup_userdata function in wp-includes/user.php.

   setup_userdata($current_user->ID);

   I'm trying to figure this out also...this code isn't working to get the logged in username (or email in this case):

   $current_user = setup_userdata($current_user->ID);
   echo $current_user->$user_email;

   This is being executed by a plugin -not sure if that effects it.

   Found this in Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo
   

   <?php global $user_ID;
         get_currentuserinfo();
   
         if ('' == $user_ID) {
            //no user logged in
         }
   ?>
