Email File Attachment type

Question

I am trying to send an attachemnet in an email. I am able to do so the problem that i am having is that I am not able to get the original name and content type of the attachment.

Is there any way of extracting the same.

Public class Cls_SendEmail
{
    public String subject {get; set;}
    public String body {get; set;}
    public String to {get; set;}
    public String cc {get; set;}
    private Order__c order;
    private  EmailTemplate emailTemplatebody;
    public List<string> cc_addresses{get;set;}
    private EmailTemplate__c emailTemplateObj;

    public Attachment attachment {
             get {
                  if (attachment == null)
                      attachment = new Attachment();
                   return attachment;
                 }
             set;
      }

    // Constructor to populate instance of your object
    public MiC_Cls_SendEmail(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

        this.order = (Order__c )controller.getRecord();
        order = [SELECT name, ContactEmail__c ,case__r.contact.name, case__r.contact.email, Qc_contact__r.email, Case__r.Case_Subject__C, Order_Type__c , Exchanged_Through__c FROM Order__c
             WHERE id = :ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('id')];
    /*
        to =  order.Mic_case__r.contact.email;

        emailTemplatebody = [Select id, subject, body from EmailTemplate where 
                                            DeveloperName=:'ET_EmailInvoice'];                                  
   */
   try
   {

Answer 1

If you are using apex:inputFile to upload file,then there are attributes like contnetType,fileName...

<apex:inputFile value="{!blo}" filename="{!fileName}" contentType="contentType" title="Add Attachment to Email"/> 

Apex Controller:

public transient Blob blo {get; set;}
public String contentType {get; set;}
public String fileName {get; set;} 
....

attachment.Name = fileName;//Name of file Name.
attachment.Body = blo;
attachment.ContentType = contentType;//Content Type of file.

Or

If you are retrieving attachments from Attachment Object,you can use

....
Attachment attachment = [select Id, Name, Body, ContentType from Attachment LIMIT 1];
efa.setFileName(attachment.Name);
efa.setBody(attachment.Body);
efa.setContentType(attachment.ContentType);
....
