The Send and Account buttons will appear in the Ribbon when you run a legacy customized message form. That's by design.
What's your purpose in using a custom form? Have you thought about using the new form regions feature in Outlook 2007 rather than a custom message form?

Yes I am using form regions too. But apart from creating new form regions for
different message classes I would like to extend the existing New Message
form and add just one more button (not on the ribbon but on the design pane
like the Send button is in the latest release). It would save me time to just
press the "design this form" button and design the existing form than
creating a new form region and design it from scratch.

Using a legacy custom message form is almost always a bad idea, because it causes Winmail.dat leakage. A form region is the way to go.

Kind of a tangential question: are you trying to design the region as a
Replace or ReplaceAll region?
