You allow your mail program to lookup urls in spam messages? Why? > or highlighted with <shift> <enter> and then deleted.

Just use some mail program that does not need mouse clicks at all. E.g. in mutt I'd just press 'd' to delete a message, wait 250 ms for auto-repeat to set in and then delete message at a rate of 30 per second. In any case I'd think this kind of question is a bit off-topic on this list. Andre'
