I have never used Hotmail.  Is there a way in Hotmail to see the entire
"source" of the mail (i.e., the entire RFC 5321 headers)?  Maybe Hotmail
is misinterpreting the mail header lines or corrupting them. Thunderbird
allows viewing the headers, as does Comcast mail.  Those are the two with
which I am familiar.
