 * I’ve looked into this further and can confirm the </br> format of the <br> tag
   appears to be a more widespread issue for mail clients. As stated above <br> 
   without a slash works for me in limited test scenarios, however it is possible
   a <br/> or <br /> may work too.

 * OK… I’ve resolved this issue.
 * Answers to question….
 * Only one other mail related plugin (Zoho Mail- witch uses Oauth to send via smtp)
   is installed.
 * All form plugins and those shipped with the theme were disabled with the original
   tests.
 * The issue…
 * When testing HTML is was only using html </br> tags for line breaks…. rather 
   than full formatting. It appears these are stripped. If changed to old style 
   <br> without the backslash they are not stripped. I have now added more detailed
   HTML mark-up and changed Content-type in header and add filter to text/html.
 * Everything appears to work correctly now with display in outlook and Zoho mail
   clients reflecting desired outcome.
 * I do not know if the striping of </br> is occurring in your plugin, Zoho mail
   plugin or the end email client. But I have a working solution…
 * Hope this helps someone else battling format/display
