How to Delete a Message Bypassing the Trash

Some spam is so spam that I want to get rid of it immediately. I don't want Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla to put it in the trash where it still (literally) wastes resources. The same is even more true for viruses and worms.

Fortunately, Netscape lets me delete a message immediately without placing it in the Trash folder first.
