Having to log in to Google just to read a message on a mailing list always creeps me out. Every time I see it it looks like a phishing attempt :-/

Could you explain? Google groups do not require login, just opened in private window.

If you've already signed to Google but your session is stale it automatically redirects to login screen.

In private window it just works but still I consider the design of checking login on a page that doesn't require it quite bad.

I'm really surprised Google Groups hasn't been killed or given a major makeover. It's just awful.
