retrieve administrator email from database?

Hi,

I’m writing a theme with a built-in contact form processed via a script in the theme folder.

I was wondering, is there a way to retrieve the currently set administrator email from the database so I can use it in my script? I know I could just add a theme admin page and make the user input an email address, but I’d rather keep it simple and access the admin email from the database.

I tried searching the codex and googling, but got nowhere.

Thanks in advance!
