I can't figure out how to get the newsletter sign up to appear on the user registration form, is there something special that has to be done?

Ok, looks like the problem is that my list is of the type "Free form". Why are only "optional" lists available to be added to the registration form?

Because required lists are automatically synced to a given role and free form lists are not linked to Drupal users.

I'm going to change this to a feature request then. I’d still like to have the option of adding a subscription option for free form lists to the registration form. In many cases, it would be nice to have a way to encourage users to subscribe while creating an account, but still allow anonymous users to subscribe to the same newsletter. As far as I know, this is only possible with free form lists.

You can map the same MailChimp list to more than one Drupal MailChimp list to achieve what you want. You cannot use free form lists in the registration, it's simply not designed to work that way.

Alright, I’ll give that a try—I think that I’m just not yet completely grasping all the concepts. Thanks for the help.
