Try:
MessageResources resources = getServlet().getResources();
resources.getMessage("emailAddressLabel");
If your bundle is localized, you'll have to get the locale separately
and pass that on to the getMessage.
Locale loc = (Locale)request.getSession().getAttribute(
org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY);
resources.getMessage(loc, "emailAddressLabel");
