If you run phpmyadmin, you should be able to select the database, click on the attachment table, then the "Browse" tab and scroll through the records. If you have a lot of attachments you'll probably want to do a query instead: click on the SQL tab and change the end of the query so that it looks like:
Code:
SELECT * FROM `attachment` WHERE attachmentid = xx
(obviously you want to put the actual attachment id in place of xx).
