In Outlook Express I could copy a draft message to any folder. How do I
copy an unsent message in my drafts folder in Outlook 2007 into the same or
any other folder for that matter?

Control-C, then Control-V (for any folder)

or

Control-Click and drag to a different folder.

f.h.

In OE there was a "Copy to Folder" option available on the context menu from
the right mouse button. In Outlook I only see the "Move to Folder" option.
Why no "Copy to Folder" option?

If I knew that, I'd probably be posting from @microsoft.com and not
@gmail.com, but, if I had to guess, usability studies found that people
wanted the ability to easily move items from one folder to another over the
ability to copy and, at some point, you need to consider the size of the
right click menu options from that same usability standpoint. Heck, I
already think it's a little too long since I missed 'move to folder' on the
right click.

I guess there's a third option I didn't mention. Add the toolbar button for
Copy to Folder to the toolbar and use that.

Or, errr, hotmail.com, which is where I post from as an email address, silly
me. =)

Thanks! That was the trick I was looking for!

Drag-and-drop works for me.
