Select the text you want to be the link. You may want to apply a character tag to it that makes it look like a link (say, blue and underlined). In the Hypertext dialog's Command list, select Go to URL. Or don't bother; it just puts "message URL" into the box below in case you can't remember that syntax. Just type something like this into the box: 

      message URL mailto:us@ourdomain.com  

Then click Edit Hypertext Marker. 

HTH!
