Hi,

The “ **blank** ” layout of Forms, when adding buttons (Send, Subscribe, etc) when sending emails from Mautic, the button **is not rendered** and is shown in text mode with link. This happens only with the “blank” layout, because “Paprika” and other layouts do render the buttons in Gmail, Hotmail…

There are threads about this on this forum, from previous versions:

> Your software My Mautic version is: 4.0.1 My PHP version is: 7.4.18 My Database type and version is: MariaDB 10.5.9 Your problem My problem is: After creating a new email with “Code Mode”, editing the HTML, and saving the email, Mautic (or probably GrapesJS) refactor my HTML code and remove my inline CSS to the \<style\> tag.

> Hey Joey! Thanks for your help! I’ve done what you mentioned and noticed that for some reason the head tag is not closing, nor the body is opening (at least it’s what I noticed, I’m not that good with coding in general haha): This is the original HTML (the one that I’ve used in the Blank theme builder on Mautic): [https://ajudafinanceiro.com/mautic/email\_sent.html](https://ajudafinanceiro.com/mautic/email_sent.html) The same one, but in txt: [https://ajudafinanceiro.com/mautic/email\_sent.txt](https://ajudafinanceiro.com/mautic/email_sent.txt) This is what I got on gmail: [https://ajud…](https://ajudafinanceiro.com/mautic/email_received.txt)

In Mautic 4.4.0 this layout bug persists and there is no PR on GitHub where a solution to fix it has been proposed.

Does anyone know about this “bug” or is it something specific?

Regards!
