The most obvious way to resend a message is by forwarding it to the orginal recipient. That way you get your second copy and he gets the message 'you didn't react on my mail'.

Another option is to redirect a message to the original recipient. This makes it ess obvious that you sent it a second time, though the observant recipient can notice the Resent-From header.

The last way to resend a message is by placing it in the ountbox again, either via moving or copying. Once placed in the outbox it can be edited again.

Differences:
Forwarding clearly shows that you've sent the message again and you'll geta second copy (with a different Message-ID) in your sent mail
Redirecting shows only to the knowledgeable that you resent it and you'll get a second copy in your sent mail (with different Message-ID)
Copying to the outbox with editing gives you a second copy in your sent mail with a different message-id
Copying to the outbox without editing gives you a second copy in your sent mail with the same message-id
Moving to the outbox with editing will give you no second copy in sent mail, but it will have a new message-id
Moving to the outbox without editing won't give you a second copy and no new message-id either.

The reason I mention the Message-ID status that when you're using the same message-id an attempt of yours to delete duplkicate messages from your message base will delete messages with the same message-id (in the same folder)
Also a new message-id means a new date stamp. When you resend a message that was sent a month ago your recipient might delte the message because it's old.

Resending a message to another recipient can't be done without any editing, so that should be done via forwarding, redirecting, copying/moving t the outbix with editing.

BTW a message in the outbox can be edited by double clicking on it.

And I don't have any favorite method, dpends a bit on the situation.

drag'n'drop to the outbox while holding CTRL, thus the mail gets copied and when you sent it again you will have a 2nd copy of it in your sentbox. Just beware that the tools of TB! might delete the duplicate mail at some point if you enable this option.
And yes, if you want to send to someone else you need to edit it anyway.
