Obviously, it is the web browser she is using. I would recommend trying 
a few others to see if they work. Konqueror from KDE, Galeon from GNOME, 
Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.8 and Opera. One of those is bound to work correctly.

I personally just would probably ditch hotmail but I'm sure that isn't a 
reasonable solution :)
