I haven't seen this message answered yet, although it's been discussed
in the past. I hope I'm not answering a message that's already been
answered.
I'm not sure how you're trying to do this, i.e. what browser and screen
reader you're using. I'm using Orca and Firefox, and what I do is follow
the link at the bottom of each message. I make sure I'm logged in with
the account I used to subscribe to the group. I then click on the My
Membership button right above the list of messages in the group. There's
then a button that just gives my current subscription option, such as
Send a message for each post. I click on this button and a pull down
menu shows up, and I can arrow to the No messages option. I'm not sure
how much of this will work with your browser/screen reader combination.
As I said, this topic has been discussed recently on the list. Here's
such a message. Maybe this information will be more useful:
I'm pasting in the reply I gave Teresa three months ago about how to
change all membership options, including your mail preferences,
nickname, and the email address you want to use for receiving list
subscriptions for all mailing lists that you subscribe to via Google
Groups. This and related questions have come up frequently enough of
late to warrant a full post, but I personally use the search facility of
the Mail Archive site to find these and other answers, including my own
previous posts. I'm cc'ing this post to the viphone list, since it has
the information on changing email subscription options, too.
The mail-archive page for groups that are archived there is simply the
posting address appended to the www.mail-archive.com address, so for
macvisionaries the URL is:
http://mail-archve.com/macvisionar...@googlegroups.com
and for the viphone list the URL is:
http://mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com
I also use these web pages to read the list contents if I am traveling.
If I am using an iOS device, I can type my search term in to the text
box and press enter to find results, and then copy the URL of the
relevant post to an email reply. If I am at my computer, I can read up
and down the threads with access key combinations (Control-n for next
message and Control-p for previous message in Safari on a Mac; for other
browsers and platforms substitute the appropriate access key prefix --
such as Alt-n and Alt-p for Internet Explorer, or I think it is
Alt-Shift-n and Alt-Shift-p for Firefox, etc.)
Instructions on changing membership options follow:

Hi Teresa,
You can find a single page listing of all the Google Groups you belong
to using the URL:
http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en_USpli=1
This page has the entries for Manage My Memberships. There's a link
to My Google Account that will let you change your email address,
password, or nickname. Continue to navigate through the page to find
your entries, which are form controls, for each one of the Google Groups
you subscribe to, with your nickname, and pop up menus for your email
address and subscription type. Here you can change your subscription
options, for example, to No email, Digest email, Abridged email,
or Unsubscribe. For some of the other options, you have to use the
My Google Account link. The pop up menu for changing your email to an
alternate email address on this page only works if those alternate email
addresses are available from your main My Google Account settings --
you can't type in a new option directly on this page for managing your
settings if you're entering completely new information for your account.
But you can visit this page to turn off email temporarily while you're
away on vacation, or opt for the digest format. And if you want to
shift the list subscription email to a different email, you can visit
the My Google Account link, make the changes and add other valid email
addresses, and then come back to this page and set the pop up menu for
that address.
If you are not logged into your Google Groups account, when you try to
use the URL link for managing your membership settings, you'll be
prompted to log in with your email address and password. The email
address you type in here is the email address you used when you created
your Google Groups account. It does not have to be a gmail address, and
it may not be your current email address. The current email that you
want to use by default is one of the account settings that you can
change in this process, if you use the My Google Account link on the
page for managing your membership settings.
To log out from your Google account, you need to navigate to the menu
pop up link that has your name. (This is in the old Google Groups page
layout, so it might be different for you.) You could use item chooser
menu (VO-I) and type in your name (e.g., Teresa), then navigate to
