Default Large email w/attachments in Outbox is locking up OE

I have OE6. There is an email messages with some large attachments in my
Outbox. When I so much as go into my Outbox, (or try to send it), all of OE
locks up and I have to End Task to get it to close.

Somehow I need to get that message out of my Outbox. I can get to my .DBX
files but don't know how to get to an individual message to delete it. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Try OEFilework offline Then OEviewlayoutdisable preview panenow try
to delete the message
Or:
With OE closed, delete the Outbox.dbx, OE will create a new one when opened.

Hot diggity dog, it worked! Thank you.

I had already tried deleting my Outbox.dbx but the message remained.
Disabling the Preview Pane worked beautifully though!
