Hi!
It can be desirable to let clients (the people who pay me) have a look at the newsletter subscriptions.
A nice and flexible way to do this would be to make newsletter subscriptions available in Views. On the first page of creating a new View, in addition to "node", "user", "node revision" etc, one could choose "newsletter subscription" as the type.
This would allow to create customized overview pages or even RSS feeds or excel spreadsheet export. Maybe the client does not even want to use Drupal for sending out the newsletters, but still wants to use it to collect the subscriptions.
Of course there are some privacy issues, one needs to be careful that the View is not shown to anonymous users who will just leech the email addresses. But that's up to the module user (programmer/designer), I would say.
If this is too much work, it can already be helpful to make a permission for "view newsletter subscription", in addition to the "administer newsletter subscriptions".
Thanks,

Another interesting solution would be to have the subscriptions behave like nodes. This would make it easy to define extra fields for subscriptions, to define taxonomies for them, import/export etc. And of course, they would naturally integrate in Views.

Subscribing !
I'd like to have this functionnality too :
I'll often need to register name, city, or any other information in complement of the newsletter ; because clients often want to collect data with the subscription. (so I need to show it in views next...)
I'd really like to have simplenews inscription as a cck field.
If I could abuse, i'd like to have a way to register to simplenews with a checkbox, associated with any email-field ^^.
This way, in any form of the site we could add a checkbox to subscribe ! :D
...
Unfortunately, I'm not a good enought developer to make it myself.
So Please, HELP ! ^^
Thanks
