#41210: Don't show preview of links in spammed or trashed comments

 In the wp-admin moderating view, when you hover over links in comments, a
 preview of the linked page is automatically generated and shown.

 For normal comments, this is a nice feture.

 But in the case of spam comments or evil comments I'm quite concerned
 about this, since these previews at some point might create some risk for
 drive-by infections, and as a minimum, may allow such comments to "phone
 home" and obtain my personal ip-address, should I happen to hover over any
 link.

 And it's quite easy to hover over a link even by mistake, I try to make
 sure that my cursor is located on a different part of the screen before
 loading pages with spam comments.

 Suggestion:
 Don't include code for automatic preview of links in the folders spam and
 trash.
