Is it possible to bold some text when sending a plain text email via PHP? Saw something that you could use
*bold*
But it doesn't seem to be working...

Don't abuse the bold, italics and underline styling. While these features can be used to emphasize a point, too much of a good thing goes bad quickly. An email full of bold, italicized and underlined text could come across as aggressive, or even rude.
Just because you're creating a plain-text email doesn't mean you can't use any text formatting. Use bold or italics if you want to highlight text or parts of the copy. Just remember to use it sparingly or you'll lose the effect.
If you are working with an email message in Outlook and find the normal text formatting options missing, like bold, italics, bullets and more, it is likely being limited by the formatting of the email. Luckily, switching the format of the email from plain text, which disables message formatting, to HTML is fairly easy.
Do one or more of the following: To apply bold formatting, press Ctrl+B. To apply italic formatting, press Ctrl+I. To underline the text, press Ctrl+U.
Nope. Plain text is plain text.
You maybe thinking of a framework like markdown (which is what stackoverflow uses) to compile something like ** text ** into:
<strong>text</strong>
Like so: text. But the result would have to be HTML.
