The apex class consists of logic that will store the attachment and then send the mail accordingly. The VisualForce page is a mere interface which simply helps in implementing the functionality.
The user enters the email address in the field “Send To” and then enters the respective Subject and the body of the mail. The user then clicks on “Browse” to select the file to be sent as an attachment and then the user clicks on “Attach & Send”. Once the user clicks on this button the attachment selected gets stored/inserted into Document object and the mail is sent along with attachment to the mentioned email address.
