    For the item subtotal, just use the MiniCart XML package (parser token !MINICART!). You can modify the minicart xml package to appear however you want.

    Regarding adding a newsletter signup, it is simple to do but requires some custom logic. Set your form to post back to a custom aspx page, and have that page dump the email address in a table. It takes just a few lines of code to do that. Make absolutely sure however that you are following secure coding practices when doing so.

    Many mail servers (eg. smartermail) support a mailing list function that allows people to auto-subscribe to the list by sending an email to a specified address. You could have your custom page simple send an email to that address "from" the customer who is signing up.

    Question is if you are looking for a newsletter signup (separate from the cart - no account) or one that will create with minimal information a customer account in your cart.

    If you like to auto create accounts in your cart, based on the email given, it will require some custom coding (contact Jan at jsimacek@compunix.us for more information). If you want a simple add on to college newsletter signups without creating accounts, you can try http://www.ecommercecartmods.com/p-2...mail-list.aspx which might just do the trick you need.
