[Lynx-dev] Strange table behaviour with example spam x2 and other browsers

[Rado S]

Moin moin,

I use lynx as html-filter for mutt. Recently I saw a spam-mail
that looked as if it was a stereogram (imagine how surprised I was
to see this in spam! ;).
After giving up finding the hidden message, I tried other
browsers, believing it was designed for some special system.

Much to surprise and disappointment, firefox + links + w3m all
displayed the spam different from lynx, and with the new
perspective it was clear that it was _no_ stereogram but just
badly broken up table cells.

See yourself:

Now, why do those other browsers show 2 rows as 1, so that the
spam is actually readable there while lynx shows the 2 rows as 2,
which makes it hard to recognize as spam?
