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 .
