The interface for it is, as far as i can tell, email-only (mailing <a href="mailto:listname-subscribe@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">listname-subscribe@googlegroups.com</a>). It's also buggy (i recently re-subscribed to a single group, and was incorrectly resubscribed to all groups i had ever been subscribed to), and incomplete (email only means no access to google's "flag spam" tools, etc., nor, obviously, any group assets aside from the mailing list).</div>
