When we try to subscribe by email, we get a box that says, "The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled."

Can you help us!
Thanks!

It means exactly what it says - that the feed does not have Publicize / Email Subscriptions enabled in Feedburner settings.

I believe they are asking how to fix this issue. It's not easy for beginners. Do you know how to enable subscriptions for email?

Go to Feedburner.com and login

Click “My Feeds” in the upper-left-hand corner

Select your feed from the list
Click the “Publicize” tab

Click “Email Subscriptions” on the left

Make sure “Feedburner” is selected, and click “Activate”

Copy the HTML code in the box

Login to your WordPress blog’s administration area

Go to the “Appearance” section (a.k.a. “Design,” “Presentation,” or “Themes” in versions prior to 2.7)
If you’re using Widgets in your sidebar, click the “Widgets” sub-tab. Add a “Text” widget to the sidebar you want, and paste the HTML code in the configuration section. Save your changes, and that’s it!
If you’re not using widgets, you’ll need to have basic knowledge of HTML. First click the “Editor” or “Theme Editor” subpanel, and select “Sidebar” from the list. Usually sidebar modules go between <li></li> tags; some other themes use <div>. Paste the code in your sidebar between the appropriate set of tags in the location you want, click Save, and you’re done!
