We have a form that allows us to track incoming emails. One of the fields that users can enter on the form is the source email address. This is currently saved as text, but it would be nice to bring up the form and click on a hyperlink for the email address, which would then bring up a new Notes message with the source’s email address already populated. I know in html, the way to do this is source@region.com . I am not able to get this in Notes. Here is what I have so far:
<A Href="mailto:" + @Text(sourceEmail) + “">” + @Text(sourceEmail) + "
where sourceEmail is the text field for entering the email address. This only brings up some of the html.
thanks,

If this is a text field there is no chance to convert it as a link.You must change the field type to RichText and create the link using the “Create->Hotspot->Link hotspot…” menu.
You may also create a button to convert it automatically, using Lotusscript.

The text field is Rich Text, but I’ve also tried Text. I have tried creating a hotspot resource link for it with a URL of
<a href="mailto:" + sourceEmail + "">sourceEmail
and about 20 variations of this, e.g., just simple text. This does attempt to bring up a new page, but it is an empty page.

No you must input only mailto:email@domain.com in the URL field.
