How do I: Replace hyperlink with button in search result

I have an on line search which produces a result, two
lines of which appear in the results table so:
mailto:Us*********@mysite.com
and
http://www.mysite.com/image1.gif

This looks totally unelegant to me! (inelegant?)
How do I replace these with image buttons one to say
'Send Email' and the other to say 'View Image' or
something to that effect.

Dont even know how or where to start with this one.

Thanks in advance.

I don't "do" HTML, but wouldn't you use a REF tag that would show a
hyperlink with the words "Send Email" and a ref that has the actual
hyperlink. Oh heck... I'll look in my HTML ref book. Hang on....

Here is an example from the book _Special Edition: Using Netscape 3_,
1996 (out of date, but probably works):

<A HREF='mailto:Us*********@mysite.com'>Send Email</A>

This will just show the "Send Email" as a hyperlink. The same format
applies for an HTTP site, just substitute the URL for the email (with
'mailto:').
