    Try changing this line
    
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $Headers);
    Code (markup):
    to

    
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Headers, $Subject, $Body);

    organic cyborg, why would you think that changing the order of the parameters (to an incorrect one) would solve this issue?

    Does $success equal true or false? Also display your errors, add this at the top: 

    error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
    PHP:
    If the email is being sent, it should be correct because mail will not be sent without a from header:

    Heh, it looked out of order, being send to mail() towards the end. I'm not sure why I thought it was causing the problem.

    I tested the code and it worked fine for me.
