How can I highlight and delete multiple spam messages without opening them?
My email provider had their server blow up, and ever since, I've gotten my mail plus loads of messages marked as spam in the subject line. How can I highlight and delete them without having to do it one at a time? Need to be able to do it without having to open them.

If they are inserting a "spam" label then you could create a Message Filter to automatically delete them, or mark them as Junk and move them to a Junk folder.
Do you trust their spam detector? Googlemail, for instance, frequently misclassifies good mail as spam, so automatic deletion wouldn't work for me.
Junk message folders automatically have the remote content option switched off, so you're safe from webbugs. Thunderbird won't/can't run scripts in messages, and you're not going to open any attachments or click on links, so I think you're worrying unnecessarily. I just multiselect and delete. Ctrl+a, or shift+click or ctrl+click. But in a Junk folder you'll also have an "empty" option on the right-click context menu, so once you have all your bad stuff in the right place you don't need to "open" it.
