Just wondering if anyone has any PHP snippets or information on how to show new\recent users, comments, recipies, etc. for a website newsletter. I'm assuming this is possible.

This is definately possible, but that's not a simplenews support request, what you want is independent of the node type. You can include recent users, post, comments, ... in any node type using php-snippets (in a page, a story, a book page, a newsletter, ...). Try asking your question in the "How do I" support forum.

I was doing just this the other day, and I did make a dynamic node that would give a list of recent events (among other things), but in the end I decided to just copy and past the recent events into the newsletter, becuase otherwise there wouldn't be a record of what the newsletter was. It'd keep updating to whatever the lastest was—even after the newsletter had been sent—which is fine for the current newsletter but no good for an archived newsletter.
