    Thus I prefer the compacter display by lynx that does skip many blank lines.

    Correct - thanks for the great test case. Now I got some other idea, what
    the compact option may do: compact lists with progressivley longer titles
    are handled well both by Netscape (4.76) and w3m.

    I'll give iCab another try, too. is there anyone interested in comments or
    screenshots/text files of the display?

    Kind regards
    Martin
