Having installed enough Windows software over the years (unfortunately),
how about adding a 'register for annoucements' with a textbox to
auto-subscribe to the list if they so choose? Instead of making them go
through opening their mail reader and having to send off the message ...
my experience with most Windows users is that 'the least amount of work
required' means the most likely they will do it :(
