Hi Bathy, you can reuse the code, based on some button like take Send Email button make a field update and based on your field update send the Email with attachment.

//Put your record id in ParentId
List<Attachment> attList = [SELECT id, Name, body, ContentType FROM Attachment WHERE ParentId = : opp.id];
// List of attachments handler
Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] efaList = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
for(Attachment att : attList)
{ // Create the email attachment Messaging.EmailFileAttachment efa = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
efa.setFileName(att.Name);
efa.setBody(att.body);
efa.setContentType(att.ContentType);
efa.setInline(false);
efaList.add(efa); }
// Attach files to email instance
email.setFileAttachments(efaList);

Please mark this as Best answer if it helps you and let me know if you finding any difficulty in this.

I'm very new to this -- is it possible to get a more explicit declaration of the trigger and how you actually send the email? I am trying to have this trigger run when "status" field is updated. And I want to send the email to the value in email field associated with the record.
