No. And it doesn't change the fact that Google Groups is far less
functional than native mobile Usenet clients, either.

As opposed to a whopping *two* taps with a mobile client. Not to mention
you have to exit and tap another shortcut to read other groups with your
"solution". YUGE savings there.

Native clients are still way better since they have more reading and other
functionality.

readable manner better suited to mobile devices than Google Groups, but
they also offer way more associated functionality.

I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.
