Er...not to sound confused or anything, but instead of creating a form why don't you just make a simple link something like:
<A HREF="mailto:mylist-request@mydomain.tld?subject=SUBSCRIBE">
...and be done with it? Since you don't _need_ any other information other than the subscriber's email address, why bother with a form at all? With a form you're depending on how the browser deals with your code (and every one will be slightly different), where with a mailto: URL, it's all pretty standard.
Well, that was my first choice too. Client deemed it to confusing, since it opens up their email program to send it. How this is handled is actually fairly bug-free in my tests.
(Of course, if you _are_ planning on capturing additional information at a future date, this obviously won't work.)

Actually, they just asked me to set up another list where they do collect additional info at signup. If I can get this working, I'll use the same system. Daniel T.
