Is there a way of making the received email, from a sent form, look smarter and not just a basic text mail? It would be nice for clients to receive an attractive item rather than a ‘nuts and bolts’ type of communication.
Not with the handler that’s written by the Action, no. There are third-party form-to-mail applications and services that do this; you may want to look at FormsToGo, for example.
If you write your own handler, then you can easily* make it do almost anything in the sent mail – or even provide auto-responders and other nice things to your users as well as your admins. The sky is the limit, really, when you go down that route.

*For certain definitions of “easy”, I realize. Sending formatted HTML mail is a well-worn path, as is sending mail from the server at all, although it has become way more complex in recent months, with the first “militarized” uses of DMARC making it way more difficult to send mail “apparently from” a user that doesn’t belong to the server sending the mail. Seriously, though, sending mail from PHP is a one-liner: mail(to, subject, body, headers, from);
