If you have NAV's real-time scanner active, then it will alarm when you
try to attach an infected file, even if it's a direct drag and drop of
an attachment in a message to a new message editor window.
The only way you could bypass this is if you receive an infected file
that NAV didn't detect, keep it in your mailbox, and then forward the
infected message to someone. It's possible that NAV could be updated and
then be able to detect the virus in the interim. It would then be able
to detect the virus when you try to send the infected message at a later
date. If you think you could be vulnerable to this sort of scenario then
I'd recommend it. This will not happen at my end since I don't send
files to people that I haven't verified as not being infected. This
means that the file was created by me, has been safely used by me, or is
a safe filetype.
You have to look at your situation and decide for yourself.
