It depends on which version of NAV she's using.  The latest version
does a pop/smtp check for you, and replaces infected attachments with
a nice warning, so that wouldn't be the problem here.

That would be a good idea, so that you can get an idea of what is
causing the issue.  Older version of NAV may not work the same way as
the latest version.
