In the web interface there is an option for administrators to unmask all emails when examining the active user list. I don’t think that there is an API equivalent, although it would be useful. We have a case where we need to use email addresses as keys to synchronize our user list, and having to unmask each email one at a time generates enough API calls to (quickly) hit the built-in rate limiting.

Apologies if I missed this in the API documentation.
