Can understand the need for doing that. : )
If you haven't done it already, I'd try sending the same exact email from a
desktop mail application and see if the results are any different. You might
get an error message from your SMTP server or the hotmail mail server that
may point to a problem.
If you aren't able to get an error back, you might need to check with
hotmail to see if they might be filtering something.
