If the only problem is the text label, this can be solved buy using a less 
verbose label. Instead of "filter classify as spam" and "filter classify as 
NON spam" what about a single label like: "Spam".
Most of default kmail actions have super long labels, making the "label under 
icons" view unusable and very ugly.

Would it be possible to use shorter labels and give a longer explanation on 
the tooltip?
