  They are disabled. Notice that the "Next" button is also disabled. This means that you have not completed all required fields for your mailing. Please review that you have:
  
  * A subject
  * Recipients
  * Content
  * Required 'opt out' tokens

  I found a few more situations that the greyed out button can appear which may be less than obvious
  
  * if there is no Resubscribe Msg set on the Response tab (no alert is currently provided
  * if you put in a Subject, but then decide to switch to using a Template that has no Subject set

  They're disabled because you haven't completed all the required actions yet.
  
  Have you remembered to include the the mandatory address and opt-out tokens in the body of your email?
  
  You need to include:
  
  ```
  {domain.address}
  
  ```
  
  And at least one of the following:
  
  ```
  {action.optOutUrl}
  
  {action.unsubscribeUrl}​​​​​​​
  
  ```
  
  The other thing to check is that you have a mailing list selected. It's silly but CiviMail requires one even when you're just sending a test to a single email, so it's worth having a generic 'test' mailing list set up for this purpose (that you can then replace with the 'real' mailing list before you send).
