I've seen this a few times also. For me, it happens with a contact list
where I had ticked the option to hide addresses sent to this list (i.e.
the only recipients are bcc:).

This works almost always, but occasionally I get the problem you
describe and I have to delete that mail from outbox. Eventually, I
changed the contact list to not hide addresses and I've not seen the
problem since (so far - but it's been quite a while now).

This is just extra info that might help someone track down the cause of
this problem.
