Hi,

may be that you might use a construction with \framed as I use it for my
letter-header of my company:

\def\Logo%
   {\externalfigure[logo.1][height=7\bodyfontsize,method=mps]}

   \setupheadertexts[text]%
      [{\hbox
         {\switchtobodyfont[10pt]%
         \setupframed

[align=right,top=\vfill,bottom=,height=7\bodyfontsize,width=\makeupwidth,fra
me=off]%
         {\Logo \hskip0.5em
         \framed%
            {First line of your header \hvill More information of your heaer
\endgraf
             Second line of your header \hvill More information of your
header \endgraf
             Third line of your header \hvill More informationof your
header }}}}][]

For your second question you might use the builtin capabilities of the
\framed. The rulethickness you can set up in the setup section of
\framed....

I hope this helps

Willi
