On other Google Groups there is an option in your preferred mail
delivery settings to receive individual postings by email.

I guess the Group Owner for this group has masked off this option.

This is not Google groups or even an email group though, it's usenet -
A totally different beast altogether. Some people happen to access it
via Google, but that doesn't change the nature of what it is.

There is no 'group owner', never has been, never will be.
