two things... when you post code to the forums please use code tags so that the code is readable: [ code ]
and, you should use the CI email class. it is tested and easier to debug.

This line
$to = $this->uri->segment(3);
doesn't look good to me.
You should send params using POST or GET, and validate them.

//$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
//$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
//$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
//$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype']='html'; //this what you need
$this->email->initialize($config);
