Error while sending multiple items from the drafts using Excel VBA

I have a list of email ids in Excel and I have a number of drafts stored.

I am trying to send particular drafts to the list of email ids based on the subject line of the drafts.

There is an error on the line .copy and .send when I have multiple drafts present but not when only one draft is present.

Sub eng()

    Dim lDraftItem, myOutlook, myNameSpace, myFolders, myDraftsFolder

    Set myOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myNameSpace = myOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")

    myNameSpace.Logon "Outlook"

    Set myFolders = myNameSpace.Folders
    Set myDraftsFolder = myFolders("[email protected]").Folders("Drafts")

    For lDraftItem = myDraftsFolder.Items.Count To 1 Step -1
        If InStr(myDraftsFolder.Items.item(lDraftItem).subject, "Subjectline") <> 0 Then

            For i = 2 To iTotalRows
                myDraftsFolder.Items.item(lDraftItem).Copy
                myDraftsFolder.Items.item(lDraftItem).SentOnBehalfOfName = "email"
                myDraftsFolder.Items.item(lDraftItem).To = "email"
                myDraftsFolder.Items.item(lDraftItem).Send
            Next

        End If
    Next lDraftItem

    Set myDraftsFolder = Nothing
    Set myNameSpace = Nothing
    Set myOutlook = Nothing

End Sub

This is multiple dot notation taken to an extreme. Secondly, MailItem.Copy returns the newly created (copied) item. You are ignoring the returned value. Did you mean the following?

set items = myDraftsFolder.Items
For lDraftItem = items.Count To 1 Step -1
    set item = items.Item(lDraftItem)
    If InStr(item.subject, "Subjectline") <> 0 Then

        For i = 2 To iTotalRows
            set newItem = item.Copy
            newItem.SentOnBehalfOfName = "email"
            newItem.To = "email"
            newItem.Send
        Next

    End If
Next lDraftItem
