Private Messages, confirm deletion of messages

Description

It may be a very trivial thing, but can we please have a confirmation box pop up when we (usually accidentally) delete messages from the Private Messages, please?

It happens a lot that I try to click on the Reply button while the PMs are still loading, but because the page is still loading, it's shifting left to right in Firefox and before I know it, or while thinking it has finally loaded completely, I point at Reply, the page shifts to the right quickly and I end up clicking Delete.

Then without warning the PM is deleted.

Yep, of course, I could try to be less impatient and just wait the whole minute (or more at times, we just had a slowdown on the BOINC Dev forums that caused posts to go out twice per 20 minutes...) for the thing to load. Yet at times I don't have that patience in me. :-)

Another option would be to put a bigger space between the Delete and Reply button. But I prefer a confirmation.

BTW, the "delete button" should be a real button (in a <form> with POST), and not that button-looking link. There are browser plugins that automatically preload all links, and guess what will happen if that plugin stumbles upon the PM page...
