CREATE FUNCTION email_mod_date() RETURNS OPAQUE AS '
 DECLARE
  BEGIN
        UPDATE email SET  m_date = current_date, m_by_user = current_user
        WHERE id = NEW.id;

  RETURN NEW;
  END;
'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

This must do the job.
But why you need a trigger for all this.

Just use a default value for the respective column's .
