The solution here is to use Attachments and try to get them to show on the view. By default the Attachments field will only give back a true/false value of 0/1, which is only useful for highlighting the fact that there are attachments.
You can build SharePoint Controls into your views and the one you need to show all the attachments as links is the AttachmentField
<SharePoint:AttachmentsField ControlMode="Display" ItemId="{@ID}" FieldName="Attachments" runat="server"/>

where exactly would you put this code? I have an out of the box Email List View, and I want to be able to show an "Attachments" column. Please advise. Thanks in advance!
Ah, so sorry. I should have been more precise.
This only works when you convert your view into an XSLT Dataview using SharePoint Designer.
Simply right click on the view in SPD and you should get the convert to xslt option. Once converted you can do many wonderful things including adding such controls.
