The line break thing is a html feature.  In html documents newline
characters have no meaning at all.  Use <p> to start a new paragraph.

I solved the Umlaut problem by setting

  (setq w3m-input-coding-system 'utf-8)

My locales are utf-8: LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8.  So if you locales are set
to some latin charset you can try 

  (setq w3m-input-coding-system 'latin-1)

or

  (setq w3m-input-coding-system 'latin-9)

as well.

And I'm just a w3m user who solved this problem with M-x apropos and
some "try & error".  Not sure if this is the best solution or if it even
works with other configurations.
