I received an email from an unknown sender. Sophos found a virus and dealt with it before I got to the email in question. When I tried to delete it, it started "loading" and the above message came up in a dialogue box. I am using Snow Leopard. Anyone have a fix?

I wonder what it was that Sophos actually found.
We're there any other details that Sophos passed along to you!?
I suspect that Sophos found a Windows nasty that will not run on your Mac.
Has your Mac been running correctly since then?

Sophos found a trojan which it cleared from quarantine, but said no more about it. I didn't note the trojan name. My Mac has been running fine since then, I just can't delete the email in question.

Move it to the deleted items folder

Tried that, both in mail and on dock, but got the same error message. Thanks for your thoughts, the mac still works so I guess I'll have to live with an undeletable mail!
