A small timesaving trick when emptying Mail's Trash

I have multiple mail accounts and folders set up in Mail, including the Junk folder. I found that after deleting mail from the Junk folder, and from multiple different accounts' inboxes, that when I went to the Trash and selected all items and pressed the Delete key, only some of the items would be deleted -- I would have to "select all" a second time and press Delete to delete the rest.

I have found that if I hold down the Option key when pressing delete after selecting all in the Trash folder, I only have to press Delete once. Just thought someone else might find this trick useful...
