Hi, I, also have experienced this problem. I found that by highlighting the e-mail and (very quickly) clicking on the "delete" button I was, eventually able to bin the message. It did however entail a lot of rapid cursoring up and down the list of messages before I was able to, finally get rid of the darned thing! Not sure if this is of any help.
