Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Tiffany_Brenner_Guer!
Do you know that you can also forward emails to Asana to create tasks? In case not have a look here.
I know however often the formatting gets a bit messed this way.
Now the task description has been improved in terms of formatting options which can be helpful.
Also here is a feedback request that might be interesting for you.
Also check the Asana for Gmail Add on as that should usually keep the formatting.
