Thank you @nqui and @coolhunt. Glad it’s been helpful. @shanebp, I’ll look into adding it to the codex. Thank you for the suggestion.

I found a way to resolve this problem using a mixture of ideas others have shared (including @6logics and @loveplove). I’ve put the details in a blog post here. In summary, what worked for me was the following in the bp-custom.php file:

// Set BP to use wp_mail
add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );
 
// Set messages to HTML
remove_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' );
add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' );
function set_html_content_type() {
    return 'text/html';
}
 
// Use HTML template
add_filter( 'bp_email_get_content_plaintext', 'get_bp_email_content_plaintext', 10, 4 );
function get_bp_email_content_plaintext( $content = '', $property = 'content_plaintext', $transform = 'replace-tokens', $bp_email ) {
    if ( ! did_action( 'bp_send_email' ) ) {
        return $content;
    }
    return $bp_email->get_template( 'add-content' );
}
//Optionally remove the filter above after it's run
remove_filter('wp_mail','redirect_mails',20);
 
// Optionally change your email address
add_filter('wp_mail_from','noreply_from');
function noreply_from($from) {
  return 'noreply@YOUR_DOMAIN.org'; //Replace 'YOUR_DOMAIN.org' with email address
}

// Optionally change your from name
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','noreply_from_name');
function noreply_from_name($name) {
    return 'YOUR_DOMAIN No-Reply'; //Replace 'YOUR_DOMAIN No-Reply' with the from name
}
