By help message, do you mean the response to a 'help' command sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] If so, this message is a multipart/mixed message
with a text/plain body which is the responce to the 'help' command and
a message/rfc822 attachment which is a copy of the original message
sent to the -request address.
The list welcome message is a simple text/plain message. If it doesn't
appear to be in Outlook 2002, that's an Outlook 2002 issue, and you
might have more luck pursuing it on a list or support resource devoted
to Outlook.

See above.

Are you talking about the list 'welcome_msg' text? If so, see the
'(Details for send_welcome_msg)' link where it says:
Note that this text will be wrapped, according to the following rules:
* Each paragraph is filled so that no line is longer than 70
characters.
* Any line that begins with whitespace is not filled.
* A blank line separates paragraphs.
