[MlMt] strikethrough

[Guillaume Barrette]

Hi,

  First, MailMate has a s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ 
feature, but it seems it's not based on markdown, but on ASCII 
character. Which is great for people who want to read the plain text 
version of the email and don't know the markdown way of strikethrough.

You can find this feature in the menubar at: `Format > Strikethrough` or 
CMD+X by default I think

Regarding the markdown processor, from what I've seen, MailMate uses 
`sundown`. You can find the processor at:

`/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/sundown`

However, I don't know if Benny customized it for MailMate.

One thing worth noting, from the sundown GitHub page, we can see that is 
fully standard compliant, but has optional support for several 
non-standard Markdown extensions like:

- non-strict emphasis
- fenced code blocks
- tables
- autolinks
- strikethrough
- and more...

So, maybe the strikethrough extension is simply not activated by Benny? 
Maybe it would be great to activate this option from sundown (I'm asking 
Benny here as a feature request ;) )?

Another point regarding aisrael question, that made me think of 
[CriticMarkup](http://criticmarkup.com). Maybe it would be great to add 
CriticMarkup as an extension like we have for the Math language or 
Highlight code feature or as a bundle (if possible)

Best,

--
Guillaume
