Gmail is one of the most popular email services in use around the world. Most people access their account via the Gmail website even though you can configure email clients such as Microsoft Outlook to use with your Gmail account.

Even though Gmail is so popular, many people still find that it lacks features that should be included with the service. One such feature is the ability to apply custom formatting to the subject line of your emails. This feature would allow your emails to stand out among others when received by the people you send them to.
Fortunately, there are many software developers that make addons for Gmail in the form of web browser extensions. One such company is called Cloud HQ, and they make a wide variety of addons and extensions for Gmail and also Google Chrome. They have a browser extension called Formatted Email Subject Lines that will allow you to apply custom formatting to the subject line in Gmail Emails.
All you need to do is install the extension in your web browser to start using the addon. This extension will work with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Adding an extension to a web browser is as simple as clicking on the Add to Chrome or Get button depending on what browser you are using.
After you install the extension, you will see a new icon on the subject line when you compose a new message in Gmail.
Once you type in your text on the subject line, you can then click the icon for the subject line formatter tool and choose one of the available text formatting options. You can also click on Clear Styles to remove the formatting from your text.
Once you have your formatting applied, you can type in the rest of your email and send it on its way.
The image below shows how the email looks when received by another Gmail user in their inbox.
The formatting will also apply to non-Gmail recipients such as Outlook users as seen in the image below.
As you can see, the Formatted Email Subject Lines extension makes it easy to apply custom formatting to the subject line in Gmail emails. If you decide you do not want to use this addon any longer, you can simply uninstall it from your extension list in your browser or go back to their website and click on the remove button.
