mailto hyperlink from email address

I have email addresses stored in the db and I'd like to display the emails on a report and make them hyperlinked so report viewer can click right to an new email with the correct recipient.

I tried it a bunch of different ways and none worked. I tried this a dynamic text element and I can't figure out the correct syntax on the html tags.

<html><B>
<a href="mailto:
<VALUE-OF>row["email"]</VALUE-OF>
">
</B></html>

Anybody know how to do this?

Use a text element and set its type to html and then enter the following:

<a href="mailto:
<VALUE-OF>row["emailaddress"]</VALUE-OF>
">test</a>

Cool. I ended up doing it as:

<a href="mailto:
<VALUE-OF>
row["email"]
</VALUE-OF>
"><VALUE-OF>
row["email"]
</VALUE-OF></a>

and it looks and works slick. Thanks.
