Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 We could change "Empty Quarantine" to "Empty Spam" to go with "Empty
 Trash" - might be better than "Delete all Spam". Or "Delete all Spam"
 might be ok...[[BR]]
 Regarding changing "Move to Trash" to "Trash", there is also an issue with
 "Return to Pending" and "Return to Drafts" - should they have the verb if
 the others don't, or is there a sensible way to shorten them too?

 @janeforshort - the buttons are a bit confusing in the current trunk,
 partly because azaozz changed some of the ones at the top and not the ones
 at the bottom partly because I used the word Quarantine to refer to the
 Spam status when I shouldn't have done so. I'll clean it up a bit and
 remove the word "quarantine".[[BR]]
 The button to empty the spam was already there so I just added a similar
 one to empty the trash. I agree that they should be further from the
 filter form. I'll move them both over slightly to make the gap the same
 each side.[[BR]]
 Also, Akismet does add some buttons of its own and remove others, but I'm
 not sure ''exactly'' what it does. I'll try it with my latest patch. The
 Akismet plugin ''may'' end up needing a few tweaks too, though I don't
 know what the procedure for that is.

 At present spam comments skip the trash when they are deleted, like Gmail
 and (I think) most email clients. This seems to me to make most sense.
 Hence the action link "Delete Permanently" rather than just "Delete". I
 don't think spam needs to be able to be moved to the trash, but am open to
 discussion on the issue.

 I'll work on adding a notice with undo etc when the rest of this feature
 is completed and committed, since that part is non-essential.

 Regarding removing the prompt on permanent deletion - do you mean that
 there should be no confirmation of permanent deletion at all?

 @azaozz - I don't ''think'' this will break plugins which add different
 post statuses, but I suppose it could affect those which modify the
 interface significantly.
