If I'm not mistaken, in eMA, the name of the attachment is recorded in the
eMA (FileMaker) database; couldn't you just check that field? I believe it
is called "'Enclosures".

As Paul said, not from Entourage, but it's there in eMA.

Fairly complex to do. I will send you (off list) a script that saves all
attachments of a message (to a folder from an editable list; no fancy
hierarchy here). You probably would not want the script to prompt you about
the folder and file names for every file, so you'd need to mess around with
that part of things, but there are large chunks of it you could incorporate
into eMA (or, you could create a "Save Attachments" script and invoke it
from eMA using:
set s to load script [path-to-script]
run s

The script I'll mail you has some handlers that try to work around that
basic problem. It can handle up to 100 numbered increments of a file name.
(I didn't write all of it; it was modified from a script called "!Claris It"
by Robert Buckley.)
