You can change some things in the settings (admin/newsletter/settings). The rest can be done with CSS.

As I know it's not possible to handle this using css. I want remove Subscribe, Unsubscribe radio buttons from newsletter block. In fact I need that subscibe option be as default and user only unsubscribe newsletters from link available in messages that they recives.
#3
Does someone know how remove Subscribe and Unsubscribe option from newsletter block ???
#4
Goto: admin/newsletter/settings/
Customize "Block options"

This patch brings improved theming and more to the simplenews block:
* improved theming
* variables added to disable the 'unsubscribe' link/form for subscribed users
* block configuration settings moved out of simplenews admin pages and into block configuration page
The patch combines feature request of the following issues:
http://drupal.org/node/55446

To remove the subscribe and unsubscribe radio buttons, replace this in simplenews.module:
<?php$form['action'] = array('#type' => 'radios',
'#default_value' => 'subscribe',
'#options' => array('subscribe' => t('Subscribe'), 'unsubscribe' => t('Unsubscribe')),
);
}
?>
with this
<?php$form['action'] = array('#type' => 'value',
'#default_value' => 'subscribe',
'#options' => array('subscribe' => t('Subscribe')),
);
}
?>

How exactly do you install a patch?
I know, I know, I'm such a newbie!
#10
You find all about patches in the Handbook: http://drupal.org/patch
It might be quite intimidating if you don't know any php. Search the web for screencasts. I know there is one from Angie about Applying patches to core (on a Mac) and I think in the dojo lesson #5 (http://drupaldojo.com/lesson/get-your-cvs-on) is a part on applying patches using a Windows tool.
I have re-rolled the patch for the current HEAD version of Simplenews.

Reviewed the patch, did some tweeks and made it ready for committing.
Any review (on short term) is very much appreciated!
#12
Small changes made to prevent empty div's in the block.
Patch committed.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.

As this is so 2007 :-) I would like to ask whether it should work for current d6 version. Moreover, it is so essential, how come this have not come into the module it self during the past year and a half?
Thanks!
