Answer 1

In HTML whitespace, beyond spaces between words, is ignored by rendering engines. You need to lay out your document with HTML to make it render correctly.

In the case of your email copy, to make it appear like you wish, you need to include HTML to lay it out. This should work:

<p>The attached proposal covers the following:
<ol>
  <li>Overview</li>
  <li>How the Fund contributes to systemic change</li>
</ol>
<p>Please indicate your acceptance by clicking on this button</p>

How you generate this HTML is up to you. You could, for example, run your original text through a markdown parser and generate the HTML from that text.
