Quick Login for news module vs order required fields

[jonave]

Mindful of the fact that browsers may want to register for a newsletter but not have to fill in all their details, how can we do this without turning off all the required fields which are usually associated with customers? and yet once someone is registered just with a username and a password to get a newsletter via the Mail module, they can later add the rest of their details when they become a customer?
Jamie sorry if I've missed anything.

Jamie:
Have had the News module just a little while but, only ONE subscriber!
I think jonave is on to something important.
I'm asking for the same feature.
Getting a customer to register is pretty tough in today's environment.
Let's make it as easy as possible to get a foot in the door.
Please consider this feature.

The form you use for the Contact module would be ideal I think.
But tie it to the Customer database.

My 2 cents worth.

We will most likely be adding a feature in the future to allow signups without creating a user account, which would solve this.
