Why don't you ask the user?

The way you ask this question makes several assumptions, including

1: The user has an email address
2: The user has one email address
3: The user doesn't mind your code knowing it

I suggest you ask and then store the result in the registry under the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER entry for future reference.
