<p dir="auto">I think it’s documented somewhere (maybe on the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">twopointoh</code> page?), but I think this is what’s happening.</p>
<p dir="auto">By default, when you type a message, it’s just plain text and stays that way <em>unless</em> you type something that Markdown can turn into HTML. Then, the message becomes multi-part and the preview pane appears so you can see what the HTML part will look like.</p>
<p dir="auto">For example, this message had no preview pane until I typed the ticks above. I like this personally, but that’s because I expect it and use it.</p>
<p dir="auto">I don’t see anything obvious in your message that would trigger this, but the line at the bottom is obviously an HTML <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><hr></code> and not just a string of text, so maybe it’s something in your signature?</p>
<p dir="auto">In any case, you might want to experiment with the options under Preferences → Composer → Preview: Display.</p>
