Hi Shaun,

Not so while back ago you helped me setting up a shop v6_nashop :)
Maybe I can help you with this :)

I have been messing around with the newsletter subscription a while ago
aswell.

I believe the OXID System subscribes new registered user automatically into
the oxnewssubscribed table as unsubscribed, the subscription date in this
case means the date the user registered.
Another thing I figured out was that if a non-existing user subscribes to a
newsletter, he also gets a user created with the fields oxid, name, surname
and mail address and other fields left empty (this user is not usable).
Later when registering for a user and when using the same email address you
used for the subscribing, these previously inserted values gets updated
this also counts for the oxnewssubscribed table aswell. So the user won't
get double emails and or can subcribe/unsubscribe himself/herself.

Hope this helps :)

Best regards,
Yusuf
