This means your original message had more than just a single text/plain
part, probably it was multipart/alternative with both text/plain and
text/html alternatives. This should be OK.

This is generated by the 'help' command processor, so you got that far.

And this seems to indicate either Mailman/Commands/cmd_help.py or your
help.txt template is corrupted.

Look for a file named help.txt in the following places if they exist:

1) lists/LISTNAME/en/ where LISTNAME is the name of the list you sent
the request to
2) templates/DOMAIN/en/ where DOMAIN is the domain of the list
3) templates/site/en/
4) templates/en/

The first help.txt template found is the one being used. What does it
contain?
