I use Kontact so, this may be different if you are using just Kmail. But if 
you go to:

Settings->Configure Kmail->Appearance->Layout

Then select "Do not show a message preview pane".

You will then be able to mark emails as spam without opening them. Of course, 
now to read the email, you need to double-click on it.

This is the same as in Outlook Express. When I use to use OE (and set it up 
for my folks and other family members) the first thing I would do is turn off 
the Preview Pane.

There is also another useful setting somewhere in "Configure Kmail" that will 
allow you to turn off HTML emails by default. When an HTML email is opened, 
it appears as raw HTML text. However, kmail is kind enough to offer a short 
message in the email (at the top) that allows the user to render the HTML if 
they decide to (for that email only).

Hope this helps,

Alvin
