Message stuck in outbox, unable to delete or send.. how to remove?

[Brian]

I have a message in my outbox with a 5M file attachment. My outgoing
SMTP server will not accept it due to the size, and I cannot delete it
from my outbox, I assume because outlook keeps trying to send it.
It's been there for weeks, and I can't seem to remove it. Any ideas?
Running outlook xp on windows xp home edition. Thanks!

Create a new .pst file and make it the default. CLose and reopen Outlook
and delete the message from the outbox.

Ok, did that, but still no luck deleting the message. Anything else
to try?
