I often have to send alot of the same email, but slightly different variations. In the old outlook, I would go to my Drafts and CTRL + C and then CTRL + V to make multiple copies of the same draft email.

I am not able to do this in the New Outlook 365. Is there a workaround or new way to do this?

    I feel forwarding an email is unacceptable as a solution because this doesn't copy the To/CC/BCC and adds more text. This was part of the classic Outlook, so why was it removed for the updated/new version? Could this be brought back as it is a simple copy/paste?

    It's a lot harder to send multiple emails now. I have to send the same email to different people separately, with different attachments, but the content in the message is the same. Before I could press CTRL + F and it would duplicate the email. Now you're saying I have to just forward, which adds more information at the top and takes up more time. Is there a way we can add the CTRL + F back.

    Yes, please bring back "ctrl+f". Huge time saver.

    We really need a remedy for this situation. I've been working in email for a variety of business purposes for 20+ years, and saving template emails as drafts so you can send to different users, at the same time or across different times is essential for work. Forwarding is not a solution, as it takes that much longer to complete the steps. Sending the same message repeatedly is a pretty common use case, especially for team/group emails.

    This seems like a VERY basic functionality that should be available in all areas of the software.

    When do you expect a viable remedy to be implemented? I've hesitated to update my email because of this issue, but now I was forced to update.

    Agree, plse bring ensure we can still use CRTL C and CTRL V to copy and paste. The new look is fine but no point to being overwhelemed with options if you can t perform the simplest tasks you always did with ease.
