I thought it would be clever to create a bookmarklet in Chrome that would modify the style of selected text using JavaScript. Unfortunately, I couldn't get that to work, but if you're familiar with the console, you can paste this line into it to strikethrough any selected text: window.getSelection.anchorNode.parentNode.style.textDecoration = 'line-through' To get to the console, you can right click anywhere in the HTML document of the Chrome Browser and choose 'Inspect Element,' or you can press 'option / command / J' at the same time on a Mac machine. F12 or 'control - shift - J' opens up the console on PCs. Once you've done this, the console will remember your command, and you can press the up arrow to cycle through past console commands. When you return to this particular one, just press enter again to apply it.
Enter the email text and select the text to which you want to apply a strikethrough. Click the small arrow in the bottom-right corner of the 'Basic Text' section of the ribbon and check the box. Mac OS X users can create custom keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences to perform. For instance, you can set up a shortcut for strikethrough text, similar to.
