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.
