 Hey, @sshanky! Welcome to Trac :)

 The email you mention does contain the "proposed new email address".

 {{{
         $email_text = __(
                 'Howdy ###USERNAME###,

 You recently requested to have the administration email address on
 your site changed.

 If this is correct, please click on the following link to change it:
 ###ADMIN_URL###

 You can safely ignore and delete this email if you do not want to
 take this action.

 This email has been sent to ###EMAIL###

 Regards,
 All at ###SITENAME###
 ###SITEURL###'
         );
 }}}

 `###EMAIL###` is, in fact, the proposed new email.

 Quoting the help block in the User Edit screen:

 > If you change this we will send you an email at your new address to
 confirm it. The new address will not become active until confirmed.

 What appears to be happening, is your old administrator registered as a
 regular user, and is trying to change his email to the address you're
 receiving the notification on. Would this make sense?
