I am currently using system prompt variables like {{USER_NAME}} in Open WebUI. It works great for customizing conversations. However, I often find myself needing the logged-in user's email address in prompts for logging, personalization, or routing purposes.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to request a new built-in system variable: {{USER_EMAIL}}, which would automatically provide the authenticated user's email address (when available).

This would work similarly to {{USER_NAME}}, and be extremely useful in:

Multi-user environments
Organizational deployments
Email-based agent workflows
Prompt templates that need email-specific logic

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now, the only alternative is to manually add the email address inside a custom prompt each time, which is not scalable.
