I think it’s documented somewhere (maybe on the `twopointoh` page?), 
but I think this is what’s happening.

By default, when you type a message, it’s just plain text and stays 
that way *unless* 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.

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.

I don’t see anything obvious in your message that would trigger this, 
but the line at the bottom is obviously an HTML `<hr>` and not just a 
string of text, so maybe it’s something in your signature?

In any case, you might want to experiment with the options under 
Preferences → Composer → Preview: Display.
