Since CVS doesn't use email, it doesn't have any way to know what the
committer's email address is! It does know the username, though. See
"Loginfo example" in the Cederqvist manual for an example of how to get
the username passed into a script, and the contrib directory
(particularly things with "log" in their names) for some example
scripts.
You should also probably update to the current CVS release (1.10.8) from
www.cyclic.com if you haven't already.
