I would like to be able to add a hyperlink to the posted form below
that automatically creates a hyperlink

Hyperlinks can't create hyperlinks. Could you clarify your problem a
bit more please?

When the form is submitted, I would simply like the email to contain a
mailto: hyperlink using the person's email address who submitted the
form. This way the recipient can just click the link to open a new mail
message to that person.

At the moment, your email is being created as plain text. Some email
clients will create a hyperlink for the email address, and some won't.
You could try to force a hyperlink by putting emailto: in front of the
email address, but the only way to guarantee it will appear as a
hyperlink is to use html format for the email body.
