reporter,
Can you download a latest build and see if you can delete the message?  Also try
deleting .msf file of the inbox and start the application again and see if you
can delete the message.  
If not you can attach the message to this bug after stripping the personal
information.

I see the exact same problem with a circular I receive weekly. They state at the
top of the email that 'this is a new look circular', and it has worked in the
past, so something is fishy with it.

I've not played around with it yet, will see if I get a chance in the near
future and will post updates here. 

I'll attach the entire email text which causes the problem, my manual
work-around was simply to find the email in my Inbox using Notepad, deleting the
text and et voila, it worked again.

duplicate of bug 126995?
There too, the problem seems to be with mails containing very long lines.
