--- Comment #11 from Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn at posteo.de> ---
I've never used this personally, just took a quick look.

What are you expecting to do in the "Adjust Layout" step if there is no
salutation?

>From how it looked like to me in a quick test, it might be as follows, s. a.
attached screencast that I created during my testing:

1) The "Adjust Layout" step can be used to adapt where to put the salutation,
see screencast at time 00:15: "Saluation Position" can be adapted there.

2) Therefore, if there is no salutation, there is nothing to do in the "Adjust
Layout" step, and it is skipped. For this reason, "Next" is greyed out, but
"Finish" can be used to continue. (That button is not greyed out in your
screenshots.)

(In reply to Jim Harvey from comment #10)

> I noted that even if you do create a Salutation, it won't let you continue.

3) In my quick testing, that did work, but only if there were no unmatched
fields being used, e.g. it does not work at time 00:17 because there is still
"<not yet matched>" in the preview, but does work later when all fields in use
have been matched to the "email" field.

Does that make sense and is it the same for you as well? If so, the behaviour
seems to be OK to me at a quick glance.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. As mentioned, I've just "played" with it a bit
right now, never used it before.
