I get alot of attachments that I have to print, scan, and attach to another email. I think there should be a way to just attach that doc to a new email, I know I could just forward the whole thing, but i do not want to forward the original email.

You can start composing the new message and then drag the attachment from the old message to the top (addressing) area of your new message.

If the display of the old message hides the display of the new message, drag the attachment to the task bar first and hover it over the compose window for a few seconds. This will cause the compose window to open and move to the top and then you can drop the message on the addressing area.
