Mailto Link in Gridview

I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 (VB) and have a Gridview bound to a SQL
view which includes a field with an email address. I'd like to make that
field a "mailto:" type link to allow the user to click on it and open a new
email to that address. Can anyone point me to some information on how to
accomplish this?

TIA

Look into TemplateColumns for the GridView under the MSDN documentation.
