The only formatting possible in plain text emails is capitalizing certain words and inserting line breaks to make certain ideas stand out.
For received emails, Outlook is configured by default to automatically remove what it considers extra line breaks. Here's how you can get Outlook to leave plain text emails the way the sender intended.
Click Tools - Options.
On the Preferences tab, click the Email Options button.
Clear the tick next to the Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages checkbox.
Click OK
Click OK

I dislike plain text emails immensely.
HTML is SO much more readable & impacting.
HTML definitely is nicer looking.
However (in the past) many technical people preferred Plain Text because they are smaller and less likely to contain embedded viruses. They are also more likely to get through spam filters.
I don't think those reasons are as valid anymore.
