According to the docs you can do this:

=link_to message do
  %td    
    From:
    =link_to message.sender.name,message.sender
    %br
    Theme:
    =message.theme
    %br
    Content:
    =message.content

which should yield markup like this:

<a href="messages/4">
  <td>From: <a href="/senders/4">John</a><br><br/>Theme: nicetheme<br></br>Content: Blablabla</td>
</a>

This is AFAIK not valid HTML. So you might want to do this:

%td
  =link_to message do      
    From:
    =link_to message.sender.name,message.sender
    %br
    Theme:
    =message.theme
    %br
    Content:
    =message.content
