For headings, it's simple to just underline them
Like that, see... And if it's not the same level heading...
Subheadings are fun too
What you are doing above is specifying exactly how the text is to be laid out and relying on the mail client not to join the two lines together of otherwise re-format them.
What's above is reStructuredText in my books.
That do be because it mostly was, I tend to write most text based medium in it, and I use rss2maildir to convert HTML rss feeds in to something approaching ReST to read in my mailclient of choice (mutt). My website is mostly ReST (all the blog posts are, makes writing them a lot quicker and easier IME). And, linking is almost logical in ReST :)
Much like me, I really like reStructuredText and use it for creating and maintaining things as much as I possibly can. It's a pity that there aren't any really mainstream Wikis that use it as their 'native' markup. I know there are several that have reStructuredText plugins but that adds an extra 'layer' which spoils it somehow for me.
I've created my own 'almost a Wiki' which uses reStructuredText to create web pages where I keep my own notes etc. about everything from how my computers are configured to garden machinery maintenance records and it works pretty well.
The only major weakness I find with reStructuredText is that creating tables is either limited (the simple format) or difficult to do (the full format).
