I wan't to convert a contact sheet I currently have published as rich text into a UDT.

One of the columns I have in my Text/HTML module formats a link to open the users default mail program.
example:
" <A href="mailto:Username/Domain/net?subject=Request%20Feedback">Users Name</A> "

I have tried most of the UDT data types and the only way I could replicate email functions like this was with rich text.  Is there a way to do this with UDT's URL or eMail data types?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there are even multiple ways to do this inside UDT.

But first: I hope that you have Email adresses like name@domain.com instead of name/domanin/com. Enter your email adresses into a column of the data type Email AND hide this column / turn visible off.

Add a new Column with the Datatype Calulated Column and enter this string at extended settings, replace email with the name of your hidden column.

'<a href="mailto:' + email + '?subject=Request to feedback">' + email + '</a>'

Well, we do have email adresses like name/domain/com becuase we use Lotus Notes and this is the value for our Notes adresses.

Thanks for the tip!  I guess I could use username@domain.com but then I will have to retype all the email adresses instead of copy paste which is what I had hoped I could do.

This is quite funny.

Change the datatype from email to string - now you are able to save email adresses even in this strange lotus notes format. The calculated column will still work and show you your desired output.
