Highlight the email address once it has been typed, and click the chain link icon (or, just click the link icon and manually set everything up there):

Then confirm the details in the pop-up screen, and click "Insert Link" to finalize.

Classic Forms would be the issue, it appears it doesn't support mailto:. 

Are you able to use a custom HTML field instead?

<a href="mailto:someone@example.com">Text Here</a>
