sorry i did have the form closed but didnt paste it in

this is what i have now

<form action="news.php" name="subscribeform" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subscribe_lng" value="{$store_language|escape}" />
<input type="text" class="input-email" id="semail" name="newsemail" size="30" value="{$newsemail|default:""|escape}" /><br><br>
{include file="customer/buttons/subscribe_menu.tpl" type="input" assign="submit_button"}

</form>

but im getting the charchters you typed in do not match the picture

how do i use your code with just leaving the newsletter input box alone without the spambot or image verification ?
