Use mailto:

<a href="mailto:someemaillink@somedomain.com">someemaillink@somedomain.coml</a>

But consider using a method that will not allow the address to be read by bots to send spam to. That is, if your usage is public.

HTML has a syntax for this:

<a href="mailto:joe@example.com?subject=feedback" "email me">email me</a>
