Are you running any antivirus software on that machine? Has the message been quarantined by any other AV software?
I've had a similar problem with Symantec Antivirus stopping me from deleting messages in the above scenario.
Only way I could delete the mail was to stop the Symantec Antivirus Service on the local machine, close down the AV client. Launch Outlook and then delete the mail.
Just remember to activate the AV software again.
