Check if the user has clicked the submit button, then set up a mail(); thingy.

if(isset($_POST["submit"])){

    // Do the actual subscription first

    $to = $_POST["email"];
    $headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    $subject = "You have subscribed to us!";
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    $message = "You're now subscribed to our newsletter!";

    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

Depending on what you're doing, you may want to send the latest newsletter to the new subscriber. Simply change the $message variable to whatever you want. Maybe a database thing.

You'll want to look more deeply into checking if the user is already subscribed before sending the 'success' email, and maybe add a touch more security to everything. Like maybe a captcha or anti-robot question.

Oh, and you may want to change the subject... I'm pretty sure that'll end up in spam XD

Depends how you know they have registered ? If there name is in another table check for that, if there is a column that gets set to 1 check for that. No way to answer fully unless you give a bit more information.
