The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SHOW_GRANTS.html says:
"To list grants for the current session one may use CURRENT_USER() function" But if I run "SELECT SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER(); I get syntax error (Error 1064). While if I run directly "SELECT SHOW GRANTS FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED];" It works. Did you guess why?
