    This is what the blurb looks like on my contact form and I'd like the email address to work when someone clicks on it, if possible.

    Text box blurb:

    Hello patchj,

    I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. Do you want to make the email address clickable in your form?

    Yes it is possible to achieve your requirement. You can use "mailto:" to create a hyperlink in the email address. Once someone clicks on this hyperlink, the default email client of that computer will load to send emails to that email address. Please check the screenshot below on how to add the "mailto:":

    One more thing please. In regards to this hyperlink I've just setup. I noticed that the email address is now permanently underlined. Can the underline be removed?

    Thanks

    I've fixed it for you. Just simply add the following inline CSS to the link:
