I do not see how it makes any sense to have the "This is where the
section begins with, and its name is this" line in the middle of a
block indented in such a way.  Care to explain?

I'm not quite sure what aspect you are referring to,...

Just this part, as I do not have much time.  Here is your reordered
one I will reject:

I was noting that B which *is* formatted as a header line (it EVEN
has a leading asterisk to make it clear that it begins something
new) is in the middle, and you added a redundant A that is not even
marked clearly as a header line.

Are we all working with Black text on a White background? (or is it vice versa) as this changes which bits of emphasis the eye will pick up. I'm reading the emails as black text against a white background.

I find that for black text, in a block format, that one does not notice any special inital character, such as the '*', when it is part of a rectangular block. In fact I feel I tend to, if anything, down grade text begining with special characters as being bullet points below some main block text. Hence my suggestion to have either a visual break (extra line above), or a block indent (extra left hand space).

Changing the contrast to white text on a black background totally changes what the eye/brain will see/notice [$dayjob is electro-optic vision systems where contrast inversion is a standard requirement for that reason]. It maybe that we are seeing different personal effects because of our set-ups.
