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?

    This seems to work differently on Outlook for Mac. Saving as an email message does allow you to open and send the same email but it does not give you the ability to change the recipient or edit the email content.

    On a Mac, saving the draft as an email template instead of a plain email does the trick.

    This process does not work in Outlook for Mac Version 16.98.1.

    For anyone using Outlook for Mac:

    1. Save the email as a draft.
    2. Click to highlight the email in the Drafts folder.
    3. Under the File menu, select "Save as Template...".
    4. Click the template file you saved on your computer to open a new email with all elements filled in and no extraneous text.
    5. Profit!
