Outlook 2002 on Windows XP. Sent an email with a very large attached Word
file. Got an auto-reply from the recipients ISP about a failure (probably too
large attachment).

However, whenever the message is clicked on, Outlook locks up. Tried
clicking on another message and then right-clicking on the one in question.
This brings up context menu but trying to select Delete (or any other option
for that matter) does nothing and Outlook locks up.

How can this message be deleted?

try selecting the one above, hold shift and select the one below - del all
three then recover the other two if needed. (or make copies of the two and
shift-del)
