PHP mail() will not send to hotmail? how come?

Ive tried several hotmail addresses and ive tried several normal ISP addresses and nothing send to hotmail addresses but all messages goto normal addresses, does anyone know how to solve this problem?

This is the function im using.

mail( '"' . $emailto . '" <' . $emailto1 . '>',
$subject, $Body,
'Return-Path: "' . $From . '" <' . $From1 . ">\n"
. 'From: "' . $From . '" <' . $From1 . ">\n"
. 'Reply-To: "' . $From . '" <' . $From1 . ">\n"
. "MIME-Version: 1.0\n Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n"
. "X-From-IP: " . $REMOTE_ADDR );

Try something like;

Code:
      mail("$emailto <$emailto1>", $subject, $Body, 
         "From: $admin_email\r\n" 
       . "MIME-Version: 1.0\n Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n"  
         ."X-From-IP: " . $REMOTE_ADDR \r\n 
        ."Reply-To: $admin_email\r\n");

It's that just pretty much identical except you've neatened up the printing?

Why does that have a better chance of working?

Just interested.
