Really? How?
In order to place an item in a cookie "value" field you must know 
what it is before hand, in which case there is no reason to use a 
cookie. Even if there was a  magical way to  make an E-mail address 
appear in the cookie it's still on the client machine. The only way I 
know of to identify the E-mail address of a user is to have it sent 
to you via the "mailto:"; construct, or to have access to the httpd 
variables on your server.

For another example of cookie functions/routines and various cookie 
examples try: http://www.community.net/~jray/
and then select "Cookies and Banners"
