Take the image, wrap it in a hyperlink:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]"><img src="hello.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

hmm, me smells someone has been using Design view?

Well, i dont use dreamweaver and you dont need it for this.

Use the code above (changing the image source obviously) to turn the email into image a link by *and this is by memory* clicking once on the image you want to turn into a link in Design view

Then go to code view and the img tag for that image will be selected, or the cursor will be near it.

Simply add

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">

before the image tag

and

</a>

After it.

In Dreamweaver, just click on the image and then in the URL field in the properties box, put "mailto:[email protected]"
