Hmm... You're right.
It's a consequence of the UI design used. Since unsubscribed groups are
listed in the same list... there's no separate list of groups along with
their description to look at, and it would seem kind of odd to have them
beside some (as not every group has a description listed) but not all
groups in the existing list.
I'm surprised that isn't a part of GNKSA. Given the value Charles places
on maintaining that, if it was, descriptions WOULD be displayed. He'd
find a way! =8^)
