That would drive me to place the site in the Restricted Sites Zone in
IE, with a mental note never to visit again.
If anyone wants to join a mailing list they will do so because they
want to, based on what they have seen, before they leave the site, but
not because you press it on them. If they leave the site before
joining, you have to ask "why"?
And what about annoying return visitors who have already joined?
Windows XP SP2 will block all pop-ups in Internet Explorer that are
not the direct result of clicking a link. FireFox, Netscape 8, and
Opera 8 all have the same default settings. Of course, users can
change these settings.
