How can I determine the content-type of a file? (I need to send emails with attachments, and the attachments could be text files, Word documents, etc.)

If you are using any flavor of linux of unix, you should be able to use the program called file. Its usage on the command line is:

file filetotest

The program file is a part of the binutils package and usually installed by default.
