This isnt something that can be hacked, it has to do with the Hotmail servers (Really its Microsoft). They limit the file size of attachments on the server side, which really stinks if you ask me. I have to use my Gmail account if I want to Download large files from an email.

You can get larger attachments than that from hotmail on a PC though, so I am not entirely sure it's 100% server side.

It's probably more like the servers limit mobile devices to smaller attachments or something. I think on a pc you can get a 10 or 20 MB attachment on hotmail though.
