 r19296 made it so that loading the Edit Comment page returned an error
 message for comments marked as spam, specifically -
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/19296/trunk/wp-admin/comment.php
 - which came in from #18340

 What I'm suggesting is a revert of just
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/19296/trunk/wp-admin/comment.php
 so that the edit action row link still isn't there, but if the Edit
 Comment page will still function for comments marked as spam.

 The specific issue that came up for us is that the 'Akismet History'
 feature became effectively disabled for comments marked as spam because of
 r19296.  The history details were still there, but users had no way of
 accessing the information for comments marked as spam.

 Chatted with Nacin about this issue and he originated the suggestion to
 revert http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/19296/trunk/wp-
 admin/comment.php as middle ground solution.
