help a reader "subscribe by email" to my DW (without an account)

I know that Feedburner offers a service to do this, but that means giving my subscriber email away.

Is there a way to do this using only my own stuff?

I could get a person's email in a screened comment.

Then add it to a private email list.

And then maybe have the RSS feed somehow trigger sending an email?

Oh wise techies, can you put the pieces together?

Happy to pay for expertise.

Hoping to let people set it up for themselves, but I'll fall back to the Gmail hack described below.

Deeply aggravatingly, IFTTT no longer allows base users to share their applets. However, anyone with an IFTTT account can set this up for themselves using a recipe of If (RSS feed) Then (Email). IFTTT will generate an email to their account email address based on new entries on the RSS feed.

I'll try to document the process of setting up such an applet using screenshots tonight.
