By default the form field will only exist if the checkbox is checked,
so you could do:
Subscribe to newsletter?
<cfoutput>#yesNoFormat(isDefined("form.mailList"))#</cfoutput>
As an aside, in the anti-spam and e-mail deliverability communities it
is generally considered a bad practice to have these sorts of options
checked by default.
