In the 15 or so years I've been using Mac's I've never run across this odd behavior. I have no idea what I did in Mac Mail preceding this behavior. I have six or seven accounts in my mac mail. With one account - and it is only in one account - when I click on the "Compose new message" icon the new message field opens and extends far beyond the edge of my monitor. I have attached a couple of photos to illustrate. I have dual monitors, and the field stretches just beyond both cinema displays.

Temporarily change your monitor resolutions and resize it, then go back to the original resolutions.
 
Thanks Gregg2. That didn't help. It is only a problem in one of the seven accounts I have. I may be wrong, but that seems to indicate it is something specific to the Mail app, not outside of it. Also, I cannot resize the window horizontally (I can't make the window narrower), I can only resize it vertically (make the window shorter).
