Composing Mail - Strikeout Formatting

[folioguru]

Is there a way to put strikeout in the compose template for email. We are running 6.0.0 GA on Ubuntu 8.04TLS.

Much of what we do is comparison work and Strikeout is commonly used.

With a cut and paste from Wordperfect or Word it displays properly but, my folks would prefer to compose in Mail composer.

TIA, Mark
