email in outbox that cannot be deleted and will not send

I have accidentally pressed send on an extremely large
email. Now when I attempt to send/receive, no other emails
can be sent. The large email cannot be deleted from the
Outbox. The large email, if I attempt to open it in the
Outbox, gives me an error message "Outlook has already
begun transmitting this message" (when in fact Outlook has
been closed and reopened many time and send/receive been
activated several times and the email remains in the
Outbox.)

Any suggestions?

Create a new .pst file and make it the default. Close and reopen Outlook.
Delete the offending file from your non-default outbox.

What version of Outlook? If OL2003, click on file | work offline. Then
close/open Outlook - you may be able to delete the item then....then go back
to the file menu and disable work offline.
