Removing an eMail stuck in outlook

First off, I personally do not use Outbreak or Outbreak Express. This problem is on a friend's computer. What has happened is that he got an offending eMail approximately 18MB in size and it has completely locked up outlook. I used mail2web to remove the offending eMail from the pop3 server but unfortunately there's a copy stuck in his inbox locally. When you launch Outbreak, the application locks up immediately and the CPU stays railed at 100%. I tried to open the pst file with notepad but he hasn't deleted an eMail ever from what I can tell. The pst file size is in excess of 1GB and I let notepad try to open if for 20 minutes before I gave up.

Does anybody have the magic solution? I'd like to help this man out w/o wiping out his address book and any important saved eMails.

Thanks!

You can backup his Outlook functions using these methods HERE
May be you can help him migrate over to Thunderbird for his mail client.

Well that's a nice idea and all making a backup but, Outbreak locks up immediately upon launch, which means there ain't no clicking the export button.
