Mail app: copy and past in draft folder kills the mail app every time

Question

Create an email and save it (instead of sending it), the go to the draft folder, copy that draft (command,c) and try to paste it (command v) to create multiple versions of that email and the mail app dies every time. I do this to create multiple copies for mass emails which brings me to problem 2, the Mail app cannot send to multiple email addresses.

Answer 1

This has been really bothering me. I came up with this solution and have tested it. I hope it works for you too.
Create your first e-mail
Save it to your Drafts folder, in the usual way (in whichever account you're going to send from)
Left-drag this e-mail FROM your drafts folder on to your DESKTOP
Double click the icon it makes
When it opens, from the Mail.app menu bar click Message > Copy to > click on the Drafts folder you want your e-mail to be saved in
The e-mail that you double clicked from the desktop should still be open
Now use this key-combination alt-⌘-T and you'll copy another version of the same draft e-mail to your drafts folder
Repeat the key-combination for as many versions of the e-mail you need - you can work at some speed, it keeps up - no crashes. They will all go to your Drafts folder in the same way the Copy/Paste feature used to work
Once you have as many copies in there as you need, double click each one from your drafts folder, add the recipient address and any customisation and SEND!
This problem appears in quite a few threads on the Apple forum, so I will cross post.
I've not seen this solution anywhere else, or anything similar.
I'm happy for you to share this, once you've tested it, and you can follow on http://twitter.com/philipchapman
GOOD LUCK!
