I have a feeling that you have the wrong extension set.

There is no Bold or Italics in a 'Text' file, just alpha numeric and punctuation.

What you might have is a Rich Text (RTF) document (If you see Bold in the editor, you might change the file type to RTF and see how calibre fairs)

Your second is a marked up text file (notice that it still follows the rule above, Calibre interprets the marks as it proceeds.
