I have two hotmail accounts on my phone, and you can download files attached to emails from them just fine.
The difference is that I am not using the web browser interface - I am using the (HTC) "Mail" app directly, configured to pull/send mail from/to Hotmail.
Steps.
1) Mail -> Menu -> More -> New account -> Other (POP3/IMAP)
2) enter your e-mail address, ex: joeuser@hotmail.com
3) enter your password (easier if you tap the "Show password" button)
4) Click "Manual setup"
Incoming settings
Protocol: POP
Email address: joeuser@hotmail.com
Username: joeuser@hotmail.com
Password: (should already be here, enter it if not)
POP Server: pop3.live.com
Security Type: SSL
Server port: 995
Click Next (setup will check your login w/ the pop3.live.com machine)
Outgoing server settings
x Login required (select this)
Username: joeuser@hotmail.com
Password: (enter same value as Incoming settings above)
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Security Type: TLS
Server port: 25
Click Next/Finish
