Ok,
After getting it up and running, these are things I was hoping to see from it, but aren't there, but that I think would be very handy to have.

#1. Having the block be able to been shown for all users roles selected that contains a check box list with Newsletter titles next to them. This way, current users can see that a Newsletter exists without having to go into their Profile and Edit it to discover that. I think most users won't find that area of their Profile to Edit and therefor won't ever sign up.

#2. A more in depth and beefy Admin section, which would include synchronization (much like the phpBB module and Gallery2 module) of users, the ability to create new newsletters, add remove users and write / create and send the newsletters from within Drupal. This could probably be done by somehow sending the created newsletter and passing it TO phpList and having it handle the actual sending and distribution. It would just make it easier to be able to type and create the newsletter right in Drupal.

This could probably be done in conjunction with CCK/Views. Creating a Content Type of "Newsletter" then, once you choose to create New Content and select "Newsletter" the "post" button would trigger the event to be sent through phpList.

#2.5. With the syncing of users, you would be able to manage your subscribers list easier, by seeing who all has registered on the site and who hasn't, this could mimic the "User Management" system somewhat, in Drupal, by listing all the Users registered in the Drupal site, and all the email addresses in the phpList database, giving you the ability to manually/automatically sync existing users to old phpList emails or selectively check and uncheck box certain users.

I think #1 would be pretty easy to implement, #2 though, might be more easily done by calling phpList in as an iFrame unit, much like phpBB3 is done. Just so at least you wouldn't have to browse to another folder on the server to set up a Newsletter.
But, Admin would DEFINITELY have to be synced in order for this to take place.

Ok I think that's all I was thinking of :)
I'm not a master PHPer, but I can definitely fudge my way through files and testing.

Let me know if I can help dissect any files for you and contribute in any manner.

    I am closing this issue, since it is for a Drupal version that now is not supported.
    Please re-open it if the issue is also relevant for other project branches that require a supported Drupal version.
