Other people will have their faves that they have used, but *another* option is to look at modding your email reader to receive and display RSS feeds.
Netscape Thunderbird has an inbuilt RSS reader. Outlook 2007 also allows you to add a "RSS feeds" mailbox for feeds. I have used RSS Popper ( http://rsspopper.blogspot.com/2004/10/home.html ) to add an "RSS" mailbox to earlier versions of Outlook.

Kathryn,
I'm making a suggestion to non techie people who are clicking an RSS link on a web page - so feedburner is a bit overkill for that.
Are they just trying to get email updates of your site? If so, then Kathryn's right and you should just offer the Feedburner Email Subscriptions functionality in your sidebar. It's just an embeddable chunk of code. Piece of cake to implement and simple as can be for readers. You can see what that looks like on my blog.
If they're trying to get email updates of all of their feeds, then David's suggestion is probably the way to go.

Greg, I'm thinking of a tool I'd mention in classes and so it's for all feeds - not just this site.
All Comments
Most obvious is to burn a Feedburner feed and use the emailing function of that.

David, thanks!!
I've tested Feedblitz (http://www.feedblitz.com), Zookoda (http://www.zookoda.com) and Xfruits (http://www.xfruits.com) for a while and I prefer Feedblitz because it can merge several feeds in one e-mail alert and it runs in a daily base.
