Hi CalicoGirl,
Sure! You can do this with the Awesome Power of Views. This is actually a good idea for a tutorial.
In brief, here's how you'd do it:
1. In your form, add the "Yes, I'd like to receive a copy of this form" checkbox / radio button group, and configure it in Form Tools so that information is being stored.
2. Make a copy of any of your existing Views for that form, and call it something like "User: Request Email" or something more descriptive.
3. Add a new Standard Filter to the View. This filter would limit the results in that View to only show results that have "Yes" for that new field you added.
4. Create a new email template for the email content that will be submitted to the user. The key is to then map that email template to your new View, so that it only gets sent for submissions that appear in that View (i.e. the user's have requested "Yes" to the email question).
To do this, click on the Advanced Settings section on the Add/Edit Template -> Configuration tab and select the View in the "When Sent" dropdown option.
And that's pretty much it!
This covered rather a lot of ground rather speedily, so do let me know if I wasn't clear on anything.
