discord.js extracting emails from discord tag

Question

I am wanting to extract someone's email from their discord tag. Im quite new to coding in this language and I am not sure how to go about doing this. I've been looking around and I found this line of code.

const email = client.user.email;

I have tried a bunch of codes and I am unable to understand what I am doing. So could someone help me please write me a code to extract an email from a discord account any way possible.

Thanks.
