Normally, you can use "mailto:someperson@.someURL.com." I'm not sure if
you can use it as part of an 'a' tag w/html or not. In that case it
would be:
<a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=mailto:someperson@.someURL.com">SomeDescription</a>
Of course, you can append different text/fields as a report
expression, etc. Hope this helps.

I accomplished this by:
Right click on the text box containing an email address
Click Navigation
Enter ="mailto:"+Fields!Email.Value in the Jump to URL
Formatted text box with an Underline
