You weren't thinking of using Interchange to arbitrarily send email
to people who didn't specifically request it, I presume. 8-) I wouldn't
like it to be used in that way.

WRT what is there, people automatically add themselves to them as they
check out, providing you have the mail list functionality enabled on the
checkout page. You can do that by setting the variable
CHECKOUT_MAIL_LIST in catalog.cfg or variable.txt.

The actual checkout page code is now in include/checkout/mailing_status
in the foundation demo. I can't remember if the mail list adder is
enabled by default. Since you ask the question, I presume it is not...
nope. I just added it to the "Mailings" preference area.
