OK. We call that a template. The template appears like it was already sent
and your options are Forward or Reply? This was caused by the update
KB911567.

I suggest using the second link. The registry work is done for you.

To complete the fix for .eml templates, a registry change is needed. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918766

Tom Koch also has this information at his site, along with a downloadable
Zip file to do the registry change for you. See:

when opening the message from the desktop i tried view toolbar customize
as
suggested and do not see an send option...is this by design?
