There is a third optional parameter lets you change the behavior of the function so that it returns data as a string rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you set the parameter to true (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is false, which sends it to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you want the data returned:
Change
$body = $this->load->view('users/forgot_password_email');
To
$body = $this->load->view('users/forgot_password_email','',true);
MODEL
public function forgot_pass()
{
$from_email = "xyz@gmail.com";
$to_email = trim($this->input->post('email')); //use trim to removes spaces from both sides
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->load->library('email',$config);
$this->email->from($from_email, 'Your Name');
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$data['name'] = 'name here'; //post from from
$data['password'] = 'password'; //new generated password here
$body = $this->load->view('users/forgot_password_email',$data,true);
$this->email->message($body);
$this->email->send()
}

$body = $this->load->view('users/forgot_password_email' ,true);
这将视图转换为字符串。

Add these lines right after loading library with config .
$this->email->set_header('MIME-Version', '1.0; charset=utf-8'); //must add this line
$this->email->set_header('Content-type', 'text/html'); //must add this line
