Outlook 2007 How Duplicate Email Message?

With older versions of Outlook I could hit the Ctrl F key from an email
composing window and it would pop up a new email window with an identical
message. Any idea how to do this with Outlook 2007 ?

Click Forward?

I want to do this from an email that I am composing. For example when I
want to send a similar email to three people but want to customize each one
a little bit. Thus create the template once, click on Ctrl-F two times
which I could do in older Outlook versions, then personize the 3 emails.
Has the Ctrl - F key moved in Outlook 2007, I can't find that functionality?

The Click Forward would be if I am replying to an email I received only, or
am I missing something.

In the previous Outlook editor, CTRL+F was the shortcut for forwarding
messages. This has been removed from the mail composing window. It has also
never been available with Word as the email editor as CTRL+F will initiate
the Find feature.
While I can see your clever trick, I don't think they intended it that way
and indeed follow your same reasoning that Forward is only needed on
sent/received messages.

The work around is to go to your Drafts folder, select your email and press
Forward as Brian indicated.

Or you could use Other Actions | Resend this message.

Which would only work on sent/received messages where the Forward button
would be available as well.
The discussion here was about the composing window of message drafts which
doesn't hold the Actions menu.

Just figured this out. You need to click one of the recipient fields
and then hit CTRL+F to duplicate the message. If you're active in the
body text editor, it will behave as a Find shortcut. Actually an
elegant solution, but not well documented.
