As an additional Preview-Pane-friendly technique: In those cases where a message is NOT the currently selected message, it can be deleted by control-clicking (or right-clicking) and selecting "Delete Message". This method does not display the message even when the Preview Pane is on. This helps me (e.g.) delete porn spam without displaying it at work, which could be embarrassing. It also helps with some cases of undisplayable HTML.
