In the contact fields for reference units, the email addresses listed should be links, not plain text.

I'm not sure, but making these links might increase spam to those accounts. @DeniseHenderson do you know why this wasn't done previously in OPA Pilot?

I think most of these emails are already linked to in various other places in the web (like archives.gov), so I don't know if spambots are less likely to pick up on them because of this. Most browsers will open the default email client if a user clicks on an email link, so there is a valid use case for this functionality. It would be good to know if this was done intentionally or not.
