Assuming you are talking about

List-specific text prepended to new-subscriber welcome message
(Details for welcome_msg)

if you follow the (Details for welcome_msg) link you will see the
details which include (in English anyway)

"""
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.
"""

So you can do one of two things:

1) enter

test

test3

test4

but this will double space the lines, or

2) enter

 test
 test3
 test4

i.e precede each line with a space to prevent filling.
