A "mail" is basically a (raw) text document, like an ASCII file. You cannot "format" it with markup.
There is the MIME standard that allows mail to contain (several) parts which are not text. This nowadays is regularly used to send mail in HTML format, with embedded pictures and even embedded scripts (like Javascript, ...). This in fact is why mail became so dangerous in the last years: the possibility to send executable code and all sorts of possibly malign parts in a mail along with mail client programs (Outlook foremost) which executes everything sent to it automatically to make life for the user more "comfortable".
Correctly configured mail programs convert every mail from any format (HTML, rich text format, ...) into simple ASCII and will not execute any code at all. True, it won't look as dazzling, but if you have information to get across instead of presentation you will appreciate the riskless and non-dangerous property of this way.
Bottom line: As you need to change the text of your mail anyway (converting it to HTML means adding HTML tags which also changes the text) you should consider simpler ways to let certain lines stand out, i.e.:
Which is simple and does the same - let the important line stand out.

calibre-smtp - part of calibre
SYNOPSIS
calibre-smtp [options] [from to text]
DESCRIPTION
Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are
used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.
text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address
of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
negotiation, the message headers are not modified.
Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
