Thank you for the quick reply. It turned out that putting my computer to
sleep (it is a laptop) broke the connection enough to let me delete the
offending email from my outbox. I hope I've learned my lesson.

Once it's been submitted to the MAPI transport that's what you get. The
workaround is to create a different profile that uses a different PST file
and then open that original PST from the new profile. You can then delete
the item from Outbox.

I feel like there should be a newsgroup titled microsoft.stupid.

I just tried sending myself a 500Mb email (to a different computer)
rather than writing a disk. Even though I have a broad-band connection,
it is clogging everything up. It has been sending for a couple of hours
now and is slowing the system down.

I tried cancelling the Send/Recieve, but that doesn't work. I tried
closing Outlook (and letting it be improperly closed) I disconnect from
the network. When I restart Outlook, it begins the send again.

Ideas? (Other than look on it as a learning experience
