- NEW: After clicking a `/leave` link and leaving a group, we send one final email with a `/resub` link in case you've made a mistake. Clicking that link now requires a confirmation step to confirm you wish to rejoin the group. This is because some anti-spam systems click on every link in an email, and these were causing people to be automatically resubscribed to groups they had just left.
