Comment (by sabernhardt):

 Extended view (excerpt mode) already can show standard post excerpts in
 the posts list. With a small edit to the conditions, the Compact view
 could show excerpts for any posts that lack a title.
 - That still notifies people who need titles for every post when the title
 is missing.
 - In a way, it ignores the user's view preference, because more
 information //should// help in this situation.

 The image includes three posts:
 1. Post without a title but with content, which shows the excerpt.
 2. Post with a title and with content, which shows the title without
 adding the excerpt.
 3. Post without a title or an excerpt because the post content has no text
 (only a Search block).
