However, when I send the test email, it shows up like this:
Is there something I might be missing, or will it just be impossible to send highlighted text using SendGrid?
Thanks!

If the receiver of the email message is going to be viewing it in a web-based email (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc…) or an email client that supports HTML views, then a cross-site scripting injection into the body of the message is definitely a concern - XSS can happen anywhere and at anytime - even while the SMTP message payload is in transit.
I have a hunch that this is simply SendGrid sanitizing the HTML yo ensure injection attacks are less possible. I would check with SendGrid - this is not an Airtable issue.
