Couldn't get this information in Outlook, but I've found something interesting, looking at the Internet header (I changed all references to IP addresses and machine names for security purposes):

=======[ beginning of the header

Looks like the file contains the correct name (in this case, it's "Cartilha Domestica.pdf", with the accented "e"). Somehow, Outlook can translate it to the correct name. If I open the same email in Evolution, it gets the right name.
