Yep, this one comes up every few weeks. There are 2 possibilities that
could cause this:

- The font size used for composing messages is way too huge. This will
  cause the text to wrap at the right window border. Decrease the font
  size or increase the width of the Composer window.

- Rather than a monospaced font, you are using a font with variable
  width for Composing text/plain messages. Set
   Tools / Settings / Mail Preferences / General / Terminal Font
  to a sane monospace font.
